BusinessGST Council Defers Two ITC Proposals, Discusses UPI MDR Rate Cut
The GST Council deferred two key input tax credit (ITC) proposals: changes to Section 16(2) regarding tax payment by suppliers and allowing ITC on motor vehicles under Section 17(5). The Section 16(2) amendment was sent to a Group of Ministers due to concerns about fake billing and tax payment verification. The Council also discussed reducing the GST rate on Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) for UPI transactions amid state concerns over the current 18% levy.
