The venue for the scheduled 47th meeting of the GST Council, headed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and comprising representatives of all states and UTs has been changed . The GST council meeting will be held on 28-29 June, 2022 (Tuesday and Wednesday) at Chandigarh instead of Srinagar.
The Council is meeting after a gap of six months. GST Council on June 18, 2022, in a tweet said, “The 47th meeting of the GST Council will be held on 28-29 June, 2022 (Tuesday and Wednesday) at Chandigarh instead of Srinagar.”
After announcing the next Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council meeting to be held in Srinagar, the venue was abruptly changed on Saturday to Chandigarh. Security concerns in the wake of recent targetted killings in Kashmir are learnt to have been one of the main concerns for rescheduling the meeting’s venue.
