Luxury cess may fold into GST, 12% slab likely to go
Hindustan Times Noida
|June 25, 2025
After eight years of piggybacking on India's goods and services tax (GST), the compensation cess levied on sin goods and luxury items may be finally integrated into GST levied on these items.
NEW DELHI:
According to two people familiar with discussions in the GST Council, the Union finance ministry is willing to integrate the cess on items like cars, tobacco and aerated drinks into their GST rates. The cess, levied on top of the GST rate, was originally intended to compensate states for potential revenue loss due to the transition to GST. In 2022, it was extended till March 2026 to repay central loans taken to support states during the pandemic.
"The central government backs the integration of the compensation cess into the GST rate structure, which will help boost states' revenue receipts," said the person quoted above.
Collection of the cess, which is expected to fetch ₹1.67 lakh crore this year, ends in March.

His noble soul remains country’s inner monitor
I have no memories of the great man. As a two-three year old, I was lucky enough to have seen Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel many times. Including on his last birthday, on October 31, 1950, when my parents took me to his home to greet him and join a two-family photo-op. But all those real ‘sightings’ as I would like to think of them, have been wiped off my mind's screens.
