Catch all the live updates on the 33rd GST Council meeting as Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is slated to announce possible changes in the tax rates for the real estate sector.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley adjourned the 33rd GST Council meeting to Feb. 24, 2019 without taking a decision on any relief measures for the real estate sector.
The meeting which was held through video conference, was cut short “so that the meeting can be held in person” in Delhi on Sunday, Jaitley said. Members of the GST Council wanted more discussion on proposals for the real sector sector, he added.
Today, the council decided to extend the deadline for filing GSTR-3B by two days.
Jaitley also said that the proposal on lotteries was not discussed today.
