A fictional "Super Hero" character visualised by Srinivas Kotni tells stories after stories, capturing the essence and answering many questions that one may have had on this topic. Mr.Kotni's able understanding and the simple storytelling by the team has introduced a new medium of making such complex topics exciting. This book has been given a foreword and blessing by our Hon'ble Minister of Finance and Corporate affairs Mr. Arun Jaitley.The Author has close to 24 years of experience in Trade and Indirect Taxation laws. He started his career as a software professional but found his calling in law and has an in-depth and robust understanding of Taxation, Corporate, Commercial and Trade Laws and Intellectual Property Right laws.
