GST Council Revamp: New Ministers to Join Key Groups
Real Estate Maharashtra:The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council is poised to undergo a significant transformation with the induction of new ministers from 11 states. This development will necessitate the reconstitution of three key Group of Ministers (GoM). The announcement was made by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during the 53rd GST Council meeting. The latest additions to the Council include ministers from states such as Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha. This restructuring comes after the 52nd GST Council meeting held on October 7, 2023. Three GoMs focusing on GST revenue analysis, boosting the real estate sector under GST, and implementing system reforms will see new leadership. The GoM on GST rate rationalisation was reconstituted in February with Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary as its convenor. The GoM on real estate, led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, and the system reforms panel will also see new entrants from states like Assam and Chhattisgarh. New finance ministers from Odisha and Haryana are expected to join their respective GoMs.
