Understanding CGST and SGST

For intra-state transactions (within the same state), GST is divided equally into:

• CGST (Central GST): Half of the total GST goes to the Central Government

For inter-state transactions (between different states), IGST (Integrated GST) is charged instead, which goes to the Central Government.
