The new tax rates were implemented on September 22.
To give effect to the GST rate changes on goods and services, the state GST laws were required to be amended.
Sitharaman said the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, were amended through sections 121 to 134 of the Finance Act, 2025 and similar amendments were required to be carried out in the Manipur Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 at the earliest, as per the decision of the 56th GST Council, to avoid repugnancy with the said Central Act.
Sitharaman said since Manipur is currently under the President's rule, an Ordinance was promulgated on October 7, to implement the amendments. PTI SKU DR
