The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, headed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, is likely to roll out new GST rate slabs around September 22 to push festive demand in the country, NDTV Profit has reported citing government sources. The implementation is expected to coincide with the Navratri celebrations.
According to a CNBC-TV18 report also citing sources, the Centre is preparing to roll out GST cuts at the earliest. It may also press the GST Council to approve rate cuts with immediate effect, though no final decision has been taken yet.
