Basic understanding of conducting transactions, availability of various payment and settlement systems and the prevailing taxation system applicable for goods and services are some essential ingredients of financial literacy. This minimum level of financial literacy will enable the consumers to protect their economic interest while making purchases and conducting transactions. GST being an indirect taxation on goods and services and the recipient consumers are supposed to incur Goods and Services Tax along with the purchases consideration, some basic knowledge and understanding of GST is essential for realizing consumer empowerment and financial literacy. This study, based on exploratory approach, intents to identify the essential concepts of GST that is required to be aware of by the consumers from the perspective of consumer protection and consumer empowerment. It also aims to identify the constructs and variables in relation to the public awareness on GST.
