TAX REFORM PUSH

- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

The Centre has proposed exempting life and health insurance policies for individuals from GST, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and convenor of insurance GoM Samrat Choudhary said Wednesday.

Currently, health and life insurance premium attracts 18 per cent GST.

The 13-member state Group of Ministers on insurance held a meeting Wednesday.

Almost all states were in favour of the proposal, but they asked the GST Council to device a mechanism by which the GST rate cut benefits are passed on to the customer, said Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, a member of the GoM.
