<h1>GST Council Meeting Tackles IT Issues: New Return System, Aadhaar Authentication, and Enhanced System Capacity Approved.</h1> The 39th GST Council meeting, chaired by the Union Finance Minister and attended by state finance ministers and senior finance officers, focused on addressing IT issues in the GST system. A representative from Infosys presented solutions, recommending an incremental transition to a new return system to tackle tax evasion by linking FORM GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-3B, and FORM GSTR-3B with FORM GSTR-2A. Aadhaar authentication and spike rules were also proposed to prevent system manipulation. The Council approved additional manpower and hardware procurement to enhance system capacity, with implementation expected by July 31, 2020.
