“Many people are not only coming to our GST centres to clear their doubts but using us to file the GST. At present, we have 1,500 such centres across the country. We plan to take it to 45,000 by the end of this year. People are coming with ‘kutcha’ bill or invalid bills and asking us how they can file it,” said Praveen Dhabhai, chief operating officer, Payworld.
