How to earn through GST Suvidha Kendra:

Let’s understand with an example: Imagine you opened your GST Suvidha Kendra and start getting clients for only one service that is “GST return filing”

In the 1st month, you help 15 clients and each client pays you ₹X for GST return filing. So, your 1st month earning = 15 x X

By 2nd month, as a GSK partner you helped15 more people, your total clients became 30 (15 old + 15 new). So, your 2nd month earning = 30 x X

By the end of a year (12 months), you will have 180 regular clients if you keep up this procedure each month. So, your 12th month earning = 180 x X

This is an example for only one service, and GST Suvidha Kendra offered around 200+ services. So, this will be a risk free, low investment and can generate regular income.
