GST: Reform that serves all
The Free Press Journal - Indore
|September 05, 2025

Ministers representing 31 states and Union Territories were in attendance, and though the session was scheduled for two days, the Council managed to complete its business in just one. That efficiency was no accident. Careful preparatory work by committees, coupled with a political will to deliver on the Prime Minister's Independence Day assurance that the GST structure would be simplified before Deepavali, helped the council reach consensus without the need for voting.
