57th GST Council Meeting Rescheduled to October 8 to Discuss Compliance Reforms
The 57th GST Council meeting, initially scheduled for October 7, has been postponed to October 8 due to "unavoidable circumstances," according to an official memorandum. Chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the Council will meet at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, to discuss reforms aimed at simplifying GST compliance, including changes to registration, returns, refunds, and dispute resolution. Proposals may include decriminalising certain offences, removing arrest powers of GST officers, and improving input tax credit flow to reduce compliance costs.
