  "summary": "The GST Council is set to evaluate significant procedural reforms aimed at simplifying tax compliance, particularly benefiting small e-commerce merchants and genuine buyers. Key measures include allowing small e-commerce sellers to use platform-managed warehouses for GST registration, safeguarding input tax credits for legitimate buyers, and reducing low-value tax disputes. These reforms, part of GST 2.0 operational updates, aim to streamline registration and return filing processes, enhance predictability for goods in transit, and minimize friction between taxpayers and tax authorities.",
