Our Partner Vivek Baj shares his views in the article “56th GST Council meeting: Slabs, cess and simplification — Here’s what to expect” by Ritwik Sinha for Financial Express.

The article discusses key expectations from the upcoming GST Council meeting, including rate rationalisation, cess adjustments, and simplification measures.

Mr. Baj comments on the Council’s intent to strike a balance between revenue needs and ease of doing business, and how potential slab adjustments must be carefully weighed to avoid inflationary impacts or compliance burdens.
