PM Modi to vet rates ahead of GST Council meet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to chair a meeting of government officials early next week to review the fitment of items in tax slabs before these go to the all-powerful Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council for the final approval. The Rajya Sabha had on Thursday cleared



the integrated, central and Union Territories GST Bills and compensation Bills after the Lok Sabha passed them last week. The next step for the GST Council is to clear the fitment of various commodities and services into five slabs (including zero-rated products) .
