We hosted a webinar on the ‘56th GST Council meeting: Decoding the fine print & impact on industry’, marking a shift to GST 2.0—a simpler, more predictable, growth-focused tax system. Experts discussed macro reforms and sectoral implications for pharma & healthcare, FMCG, automobiles, real estate, and technology, alongside transitional challenges in pricing, contracts, and supply chains. Key reforms included rationalised tax slabs, faster dispute resolution via GSTAT, clarified rules on intermediaries and post-sale discounts, and easier registration and refunds for low-risk businesses.
