India Sets Up Central Monitoring Committee to Oversee GST Impact and Address Stakeholder Concerns.

The Government of India has established a Central Monitoring Committee, led by the Cabinet Secretary, to oversee the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The committee has convened three meetings to gather feedback from various ministries and departments on GST-related issues, including registration, price changes, and stakeholder queries. Additionally, 209 officers have been appointed to monitor GST implementation across districts and report weekly. A Nodal Feedback Centre and a GST Feedback and Action Room have been set up to analyze feedback and media reports. The GST aims to enhance transparency, reduce tax cascading, and improve business ease.
