Solution
The correct option is D IGST on ₹1,00,000 The goods and services tax is collected based on the trade of goods and services across state borders. When goods and services are traded within a state or union territory, it is known as intrastate trade. On this, the central government imposes a Central Goods and Services Tax or CGST and the state government imposes the State Goods and Services Tax or SGST. When goods and services are traded between two states, it is known as interstate trade. In this case, the central government imposes and collects Integrated Goods and Services Tax or the IGST.
