GST@8: Much done, some food for thought

India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, emerged on the Indian economic horizon like a dawn breaking over a fragmented indirect tax terrain, promising a unified law, seamless credit flows and a more transparent compliance system. Over the last eight years, the law has evolved from a decisive legislative leap into a dynamic, ever-adapting framework—reshaped through proactive clarifications, guided by judicial precedents, and refined through the relentless advance of digitisation and technology. GST collections are a powerful testament not only to India's economic resilience, but to the system's evolving efficiencies. GST collections in April 2025, yet again, hit a record high of Rs. 2.37 lakh crores. Although technology adoption began under the previous indirect tax regime comprising VAT and Service Tax, the introduction of a one-stop-shop portal, i.e. GSTN, for all compliances and proceedings under GST has been a game-changer. Beyond streamlining tax filings and empowering authorities with data, GST has propelled businesses, into an aggressive wave of technology adoption, for the digital tomorrow. Today, the GSTN processes millions of transactions, daily, and these volumes are set to increase with optional line level B2C reporting on the anvil. As we move towards more adoption of advanced AI-powered analytics, both industry and policymakers will gain granular, actionable insights. Predictive risk modeling and real-time anomaly detection are set to become the cornerstone of a virtually boundless future in tax administration. As India raises its position as an economic powerhouse, here are five focal areas to transcend limitations in the present laws: Similarly, instructions and training of the revenue authorities in matters concerning the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will prove beneficial. Other areas that deserve attention of policymakers and administrators are: (a) making GST credit fungible across registrations for 'distinct persons' and, introduction of the group concept to enable credit flow between 'related persons' (b) a mindset shift within the administration to smoothen the refund environment and not scuttling or delaying refund claims.

Jet fuel price cut by 3% to ₹83,072/kl on softening global oil benchmarks

The price of jet fuel, or ATF, was on Sunday slashed by 3 per cent - the third straight monthly reduction on softening international benchmark prices. The fall in international benchmark oil and gas prices also led to a Rs 24 per 19-kg cylinder cut in rate of commercial LPG used in hotels and restaurants. The price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) was reduced by Rs 2,414.25 per kilolitre, or 2.82 per cent, to Rs 83,072.55 per kl in the national capital - home to one of the busiest airports in the country, according to state-owned fuel retailers. The price cut follows a 4.4 per cent (Rs 3,954.38 per kl) reduction on May 1 and a steep 6.15 per cent (Rs 5,870.54 per kl) reduction effected from April 1. Together with Sunday's reduction, the price cuts have more than offset the hikes that occurred earlier this year. A reduction in price of ATF will ease the burden on commercial airlines, for whom fuel makes up for almost 40 per cent of the operating cost. No immediate comments could be obtained from the airlines on the price reduction. The ATF price in Mumbai was slashed to Rs 77,602.73 per kl from Rs 79,855.59, while those in Chennai and Kolkata were reduced to Rs 86,103.25 and Rs 86,052.57 per kl, respectively. Oil firms also reduced the price of commercial LPG by Rs 24 per 19-kg cylinder. Commercial LPG now costs Rs 1,723.50 in the national capital and Rs 1,647.50 in Mumbai. This reduction follows a Rs 14.50 cut on May 1 and a Rs 41 per cylinder cut in rate effected on April 1. International oil prices have softened in the last couple of months as global trade war eroded the outlook for fuel demand. Prices of ATF and LPG differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes, including VAT. The rate of cooking gas used in domestic households, however, remained unchanged at Rs 853 per 14.2-kg cylinder. The price of the domestic LPG was hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder in April. State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise prices of ATF and cooking gas on the first of every month based on the average price of benchmark international fuel and foreign exchange rate. While international oil prices have softened, domestic rates of petrol and diesel continue to remain frozen. Rates were cut by Rs 2 per litre in mid-March last year, ahead of the general elections. Petrol costs Rs 94.72 a litre in Delhi, while diesel is priced at Rs 87.62.
