GST Council meeting rescheduled again, to take place on October 8
This is the second time that the date of the 57th GST Council meeting has been rescheduled
The 57th meeting of the GST Council has been rescheduled to October 8, a day later than the originally planned October 7 date. According to an Office Memorandum from the GST Council Secretariat on October 5, the meeting will begin at 11 am at the Summit Room, Bharat Mandapam, in New Delhi. The change in date is due to "unavoidable circumstances," though the specific reasons are not detailed in the memorandum.
This is the first meeting of the Council in over a year, following the 56th meeting held on September 3 and 4, 2025. The 56th meeting approved the GST 2.0 overhaul, which simplified the tax rate structure and introduced a 40% rate for certain demerit and luxury goods. The GST Council is chaired by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and includes the finance ministers from all states and Union Territories.
Pending issues regarding input tax credit, refunds, and compliance are expected to be discussed during the meeting.
