Who it hits first

• Primary beneficiaries are UNLISTED GST-tech vendors (GSTN, Cleartax, Zoho, Tally) — no tradeable signal.

Who may gain

• Tax-tech/compliance SaaS and e-governance IT vendors winning incremental government digitisation mandates
• Refund-heavy SMEs/exporters via faster GST refund cycles (working-capital easing)
