The Council approved comprehensive GST reforms including a simplified two-rate structure (standard 18%, merit 5%, and a 40% de-merit slab), exemption of individual life and health insurance, widespread rate reductions across food, health, agriculture, labour-intensive and common-use goods and selected services, and targeted increases to 40% for certain sin/ de-merit items.
