J&K govt rolls out GST 2.0 reforms, adopts 7-step consumer benefit protocol
GST
Dated:- 4-10-2025
PTI
Jammu, Oct 3 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir government on Friday rolled out GST 2.0 reforms in the Union territory, bringing in major changes to rationalise the tax structure and ensure consumer welfare in line with the national reforms drive.
Effective September 22, GST has adopted a two-tier structure, with rates of 5 per cent and 18 per cent. The earlier tax slabs of 5, 12, 18, and 28 per cent have now been clubbed into the two rates mentioned above, resulting in a reduced price of 99 per cent of daily use items.
“The Government has commenced the implementation of next-generation GST reforms 2.0, effective from September 22, alig

Citizen support will be extended via GST Suvidha Kendras and helplines set up in every district, the official said, adding that the Suvidha Kendras will help taxpayers with GST 2.0 compliance, including return filing, code remapping, and grievance redressal.
The second step is awareness and capacity building, involving organising webinars, publishing brochures, and launching campaigns on radio and social media to spread knowledge about the changes and their benefits, the order said.
The third step, which covers monitoring and documentation, is aimed at collecting invoices and voluntary price declarations to document compliance and ensure that the reduced tax rates are accurately reflected in the market.

Will approach courts if needed to secure state’s share of central grants: CM Siddaramaiah
GST
Dated:- 3-10-2025
PTI
Mysuru (Karnataka), Oct 3 (PTI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said he would approach the courts if necessary to secure the state’s rightful share of central funds.
Speaking to reporters here, he also slammed the Centre for celebrating rationalisation of Goods and Services Taxes (GST), saying there was little to celebrate after eight years of introduction of GST in the country.
Commenting on the Centre refund of Rs 3,200 crore, Siddaramaiah said, “UP is getting 17 to 18 per cent of the central grant while we are getting only 3.5 per cent. Is this justified? We are asking them (Centre) to

on, Rs 3,000 crore for peripheral ring road around Bengaluru and Rs 5,400 crore for upper Bhadra scheme were also denied to us. Isn’t this intentional?” he asked.
Siddaramaiah added that Karnataka was supposed to receive Rs 11,490 crore along with an additional Rs 5,000 crore, which has not been released.
Asked whether the state would take legal action, he said, “If needed, we will go to court to get the money.” Regarding the ‘GST Utsav’ being organised by the BJP leaders, Siddaramaiah said the central government introduced the GST in 2017 and fixed the tax rates but after eight years, it rationalised the taxes.
“After rationalisation, will the Centre refund whatever tax it had collected in the last eight years? What is

Monetary Policy Statement, 2025-26 Resolution of the Monetary Policy Committee September 29 to October 1, 2025
GST
Dated:- 3-10-2025

Monetary Policy Decisions
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) held its 57th meeting from September 29 to October 1, 2025, under the chairmanship of Shri Sanjay Malhotra, Governor, Reserve Bank of India. The MPC members Dr. Nagesh Kumar, Shri Saugata Bhattacharya, Prof. Ram Singh, Dr. Poonam Gupta and Shri Indranil Bhattacharyya attended the meeting.
2. After a detailed assessment of the evolving macroeconomic and financial developments and the outlook, the MPC voted unanimously to keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 5.50 per cent; consequently, the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate remains at 5.25 per cent while the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate remains at 5.75 per cent. The MPC also decided to continue with the neutral stance.

ndicators suggest that economic activity continues to remain resilient. Rural demand remains strong, riding on a good monsoon and robust agriculture activity, while urban demand is showing a gradual revival. Revenue expenditure of the Union and State Governments registered robust growth during the fiscal year so far (April-July). Investment activity, as suggested by healthy growth in construction indicators i.e., cement production and steel consumption in July-August, is holding up well even though production and import of capital goods witnessed some moderation. Recovery in manufacturing sector continues while services activity is sustaining its momentum.
5. Looking ahead, an above normal monsoon, good progress of kharif sowing and adequate reservoir levels have further brightened prospects of agriculture and rural demand. Buoyancy in services sector coupled with steady employment conditions are supportive of demand, which is expected to get a further boost from the rationalisation o

fore rising to 2.1 per cent in August – its first increase after nine months. Benign inflation conditions during 2025-26 so far have been primarily driven by a sharp decline in food inflation from its peak of October 2024. Inflation within the fuel group moved in a narrow range of 2.4-2.7 per cent during June-August. Core inflation remained largely contained at 4.2 per cent in August. Excluding precious metals, core inflation was at 3.0 per cent in August.
7. In terms of the inflation outlook for H2: 2025-26, healthy progress of the south-west monsoon, higher kharif sowing, adequate reservoir levels and comfortable buffer stock of foodgrains should keep food prices benign. The recently implemented GST rate rationalisation would lead to a reduction in prices of several items in the CPI basket. Overall, the inflation outcome is likely to be softer than what was projected in the August MPC resolution, primarily on account of the GST rate cuts and benign food prices. Despite the anticipat

9. Growth outlook remains resilient supported by domestic drivers, despite weak external demand. It is likely to get further support from a favourable monsoon, lower inflation, monetary easing and the salubrious impact of recent GST reforms. However, growth continues to be below our aspirations. Even though the growth projection for the financial year 2025-26 is being revised upwards, the forward-looking projections for Q3 and beyond are expected to be slightly lower than projected earlier, primarily due to tariff-related developments, despite being partially offset by the impetus provided by the rationalisation of GST rates.
10. To summarize, there has been a significant moderation in inflation. Moreover, the prevailing global uncertainties and tariff related developments are likely to decelerate growth in H2:2025-26 and beyond. The current macroeconomic conditions and the outlook has opened up policy space for further supporting growth. However, the MPC noted that the impact of the
