In this two-day meeting, rates for 1,211 products were approved.
This meeting of the Council is considered important from the point of view that in it the report on the harmonization of rates of the Committee of Finance Ministers of the States will be discussed. Apart from this, the GST rates for casinos, horse racing, and online gaming will be considered in the meeting. Simplification of some procedures may also be considered in the meeting.
