🚨 BREAKING NEWS – GST TRIBUNAL UPDATE 🚨
GSTAT (Goods & Services Tax Appellate Tribunal) finally set to become operational.
In a significant and long-awaited development, the Government has formally allotted benches to Judicial and Technical Members of GSTAT, marking a decisive step towards commencement of Tribunal proceedings.
📌 Key Highlights:
• Benches have been assigned across multiple locations
• Judicial Members and Technical Members (Centre & State) have been posted
• Members are directed to join their respective benches on 21 January 2026
This development brings long-pending GST appeals closer to hearing and is expected to substantially ease the appellate backlog, especially for matters currently pending before High Courts due to non-constitution of GSTAT.
🔔 What this means for taxpayers:
• Revival of statutory appellate remedy under GST
• Faster resolution of disputed demands
• Strategic review of pending writ petitions and appeals advisable
