NEW DELHI: The GST Council , headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday is meeting for another set of deliberations on the new tax regime. The meeting which is the 22nd of its kind holds significance given the repeated promises of reforms by the government amid concerns of an 'economic slowdown'. On Thursday, Jaitley, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah went into a huddle, reportedly to discuss the economy. Apart from dealing with the GSTN ( GST Network ) portal issues, filers have also complained of surging compliance charges. Amid various speculations on how the government may counter the sagging growth, the GST Council meeting may well prove to be a reason to celebrate ahead of Diwali for the trading class.
