FM Nirmala Sitharaman to chair 54th GST Council meeting in New Delhi

The 54th GST Council meeting will be held in New Delhi today. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will chair the meeting.

The last GST Council meeting was held in June this year, in which the council had recommended a uniform rate of 12 percent GST on all steel, iron, and aluminium milk cans. The council had also recommended that services provided by the Indian Railways to the common man, including the sale of platform tickets, the facility of retiring rooms and waiting rooms, and battery-operated car services, will not attract any GST.
