Five States Named Permanent Members of New GST Standing Committee
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu have been designated permanent members of a new GST Standing Committee comprising officials from 12 states. The remaining seats will rotate every two years among other states. The Centre aims to expand the GST tax base using data analytics and technology support, including potential e-invoicing for business-to-consumer transactions from April 1. Incentives will encourage businesses to adopt the system, which is expected to enhance tax revenue and reduce leakages through improved return filing and invoice matching.
