States broadly favour a full exemption of GST on life and health insurance policies

- PUSHITA DEY @ New Delhi

UNDER the proposed goods and services tax (GST) reform agenda, most states have agreed to a zero tax on individual health and life insurance premiums, currently taxed at 18%, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said after a meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on insurance.

Choudhary, who heads the 13-member GoM, said the panel will submit its detailed report to the GST Council by October for deliberation.

While the GoM broadly favours a full exemption for individual health and life insurance policies, some states have flagged revenue loss concerns that could shape the final outcome at the GST Council's October meeting.
