<h1>GST revenue impact prompts Punjab to amend state GST law to align with Central amendments and raise federalism concerns.</h1> Punjab reports substantial GST-related revenue shortfalls since GST implementation and attributes worsened fiscal stress to the discontinuation of the compensation cess after 2022, arguing that GST's consumer-based structure disadvantaged the state. The Assembly passed the Punjab Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025 to amend multiple provisions of the Punjab GST Act, 2017 and insert new sections in order to align state law with recent Central amendments effected by the Finance Act, 2025.
