Make sure you are happy with permissions the GST App requires. Below is the list.  I am not sure why a information based app needs my device's accounts and contacts details. Because of demonetization and more usage of Wallets and other payment system through mobile, I am now a days very careful about what app I am installing and what all permission it needs. if I feel the purpose of app and permissions are not matching, I refrain to install it.

Version 1.0.0 can access:

Identity
