Key Panel Accepts Centre's Proposal To Move To 2 GST Slabs, Down From 4

A key meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on GST rate rationalisation on Thursday ended with state finance minister accepting the Centre's plan to reduce the number of tax slabs.

The proposal, placed before the six-member GoM led by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, aims to replace the current four rates of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent with just two main slabs.
