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).
