GST panel may consider dropping 12% slab
The fitment committee under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, comprising central and state officials, has begun a rate rationalisation exercise afresh, checking the possibility of dropping some of the rates, particularly the 12 per cent slab, to achieve a revenue-neutral structure, a senior official with direct knowledge of the matter told Business Standard.
The GST regime could see an overhaul in the current financial year (FY25) as it may move to a three-slab structure from the existing four.
