🔍 What Is IGST?

IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) is a component of GST that is charged on:

  • Interstate supply of goods/services
  • Imports into India

Unlike CGST and SGST (which apply to intrastate transactions), IGST is collected by the central government and then shared with the relevant state.
