<h1>GST Council Forms 18 Sectoral Groups for Smooth Implementation Across Sectors Like Banking, Telecom, and Textiles.</h1> The GST Council has established 18 Sectoral Groups to facilitate the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax across various economic sectors. These groups, composed of senior officers from both the central and state governments, aim to address sector-specific issues, interact with industry associations, and prepare guidance for a smooth transition to the GST regime. Each group is responsible for a particular sector, such as banking, telecom, exports, textiles, and others. They will work to resolve GST-related problems at local and regional levels, providing support to industry representatives and associations.
