The 57th GST Council meeting will be held on October 8 in New Delhi, a day later. The meeting was earlier moved from September 12 to October 7 because of the BRICS summit, and was delayed again. It is the Council's first meeting in more than a year.On the agenda is a major enforcement reform package. The Council may consider removing the power of tax officers to directly arrest taxpayers under Section 69 of the CGST Act, making judicial approval mandatory for any arrest. Another proposal would raise the threshold for criminal prosecution from Rs 1 crore to Rs 5 crore of alleged evasion or fake credit claims.The Council is also expected to bring telecom towers and pipelines under the input tax credit mechanism after a Supreme Court ruling. Other proposals include stopping tax notices for cases under Rs 10,000, easier registration for small e-commerce sellers, quarterly payment options for small B2C businesses, and faster refunds for exporters.Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that the next phase of GST reforms would make compliance easier and improve refunds. The Council will decide which proposals move to law.
