GST Council needs to reshuffle GOMs

In the wake of a change of guard in Karnataka post the assembly election, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council will now have to appoint a new Chairperson to the key Group of Ministers (GoM) on rate rationalisation. Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj S Bommai was the Convenor of the GoM on GST rate rationalisation. In addition, the replacement of another member in place of former Bihar deputy chief minister Tarkishore Prasad in August 2022 is still pending.
