LIVE: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Chairs The 56th GST Council Meeting In Delhi | BJP
The 56th GST Council Meeting commenced today, September 3, 2025, in New Delhi, chaired by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. This two-day session (September 3-4) follows a six-month gap since the 55th meeting in December 2024 and is poised to advance "Next-Generation GST Reforms" announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day (August 15, 2025). The reforms aim to simplify India’s indirect tax system, reduce compliance burdens, and provide relief to consumers, farmers, middle-class citizens, and MSMEs. Key discussions include GST rate rationalization, potential slab restructuring, compensation cess extensions, and sector-specific clarifications (e.g., insurance, drones, online gaming). An officers’ meeting was held on September 2 to prepare the groundwork.
The meeting is attended by state and Union Territory finance ministers, senior officials, and representatives from the Centre. Outcomes could be implemented as early as Diwali 2025, focusing on three pillars: structural reforms, rate rationalization, and ease of living. Live visuals from the venue show arrivals of dignitaries, including Chief Ministers from states like Odisha and Himachal Pradesh. Stay tuned for real-time updates as deliberations unfold at Vigyan Bhawan.
