In a time when GST litigation and indirect tax jurisprudence are becoming increasingly complex, GST Gavel by CA Ritesh Arora arrives as a much-needed intellectual and practical companion for professionals and students alike. Drawing from over a decade of professional excellence, the author combines clarity, technical accuracy, and spiritual depth to offer readers a rare blend of insightful legal analysis and grounded real-world commentary.
From the opening pages, the book is not merely an academic treatise—it is a reflection, a dialogue with judicial thought, and a challenge to conventional perceptions. The acknowledgment section is deeply personal, setting the tone for the book’s honest and humble approach. Arora attributes his inspiration to the grace of Maa Saraswati, and to the intellectual mentorship of stalwarts like CA. A. Jatin Christopher and CA. Hans Raj Chugh, reflecting a rare gratitude-driven authorship.
A key strength of GST Gavel is its analytical rigor married with accessible commentary. The book doesn’t just present judicial pronouncements—it interrogates them, contextualizes them, and makes them practically relevant to professionals navigating the ever-evolving world of indirect taxation. For readers seeking more than rote compliance, the book encourages a mindset shift: to “look at the same things differently.”
CA Ritesh Arora’s profile as an author adds weight to the content. A Fellow Member of ICAI and a thought leader in GST litigation, his experience spans appellate advocacy, departmental audits, and legal strategy in indirect tax matters. His earlier works on exports, FEMA, Customs, and IGST, and his involvement with ICAI across 30+ branches, demonstrate a commitment not just to tax law, but to tax education and mentorship.
Academically and professionally well-grounded—with credentials such as DISA, Concurrent Audit certification, and ICAI Peer Reviewer status—Arora also brings a unique personal discipline to his work. His background as a National Silver Medalist in Judo points to a mindset of perseverance and clarity under pressure, qualities that reflect in his lucid legal writing.
In conclusion, GST Gavel is more than just a book—it’s a practitioner’s companion, a mentor’s notebook, and a seeker’s diary. Whether you are a young CA, a legal researcher, or a GST litigation counsel, this book invites you to engage not just with tax law, but with the art of interpreting it.
Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of India’s GST regime through the lens of experience, critical insight, and reverent scholarship.
