Many of the states and center revenue departments are watching over declining GST collection as short as 30 thousand crores. The states may also not get the asked compensation as discussed earlier with the center due to the shortfall this time.

While the central government is mulling the point that the compensation would be given through the cess. Also, it is expected that the central government will be pushing the hike in the GST rate so that the compensation can be divided evenly into the states.

It is to be what the decision would be finalized in the upcoming 39th GST council meeting.
