The strike call was given by the All India Confederation of Commercial Taxes Association (AICCTA), which claims to represent over 36,000 gazetted officers and about 2 lakh Class-III and IV employees in support of their demand of having a fair share in the administration of taxes under the GST regime.
Uttarakhand Commercial Tax Service Association President Yashpal Singh, who is also head of the NCR chapter of AICCTA, said the strike was successful in most states and a considerable number of employees participated in the protest.
GST is a single tax to be levied on supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer.
