Inside the APGST act some revisions have been incurred on the GST council’s suggestion. From October 1 such revisions shall come into force, articulated by Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein.
From our side it is compulsory to revise the Arunachal Pradesh Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017 as performed via the central government and other state governments by legislating the Arunachal Pradesh Goods & Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2023, he added.
Since both the central and state governments administer the GST, any modification or revision required under the Act must be approved by both the federal and state governments.
