<h1>Chief minister says GST revisions cut Rs900-1,000 crore revenue, deepen deficit, may force reallocations or requests for central aid</h1> The territory's chief minister warned that recent GST rate revisions will cut the Union Territory's fiscal-year tax receipts by about Rs 900-1,000 crore, exacerbating an existing deficit and likely forcing budgetary reallocations or requests for additional central transfers. He also attributed substantial economic harm to a high-profile terror attack that damaged tourism demand and to severe summer rains that impaired agriculture and horticulture, creating grounds for disaster-relief funding and possible claims for central aid. The combined revenue shortfall and sectoral losses increase legal and administrative pressure to revise fiscal plans, seek compensation, or invoke emergency assistance mechanisms.
