The same seems to be the way ahead for the GST Council chaired by the Finance Minister Mr Arun Jaitley. The GST Council will now consider deep analyzing of data to find a root cause for such wide-scale discrepancy between self-declared liabilities in GSTR-1 and actual taxes paid while filing GSTR-3B.
