Solution
The correct option is D SGST
Goods and Service Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services and has replaced many indirect tax laws that previously existed in India.
There are 3 taxes applicable under this system viz. CGST, SGST and IGST. CGST is collected by the Central Government on an intra-state sale (Example : transaction happening within Maharashtra), SGST is collected by the State Government on an intra-state sale (Example: transaction happening within Maharashtra) IGST is collected by the Central Government for inter-state sale (Example: Maharashtra to Tamil Nadu).
