What is CGST, SGST, and IGST?

• CGST (Central GST) & SGST (State GST): These are applied when you sell goods or services within your own state (Intra-State). The total GST is divided equally (50-50) between the Central and State governments.
• IGST (Integrated GST): This is applied when a transaction happens between two different states (Inter-State). The entire tax is collected by the Central Government as a single amount.
