Extension of counsel panel for indirect taxation maintains current standing counsels until a fresh panel is constituted. The existing panel of Senior and Junior Standing Counsels for indirect taxation matters before High Courts and other fora is provisionally extended, with ministerial approval, for a short specified period pending constitution of a fresh panel; administrative units handling Central GST, Central Excise and Customs are notified to continue engagements under existing terms until the new panel is formed or the extension expires.
