The GST (Goods and Services Tax) reforms discussed in the GST 56th council meeting came into effect from September 22, 2025, and made a historic shift in the indirect taxation of the nation by replacing the country's existing four-slab system with just two, i.e., 5% and 18%, and a special tax slab of 40% for sin goods, like tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. This GST rationalisation in 2025 was aimed at simplifying the slabs, boosting the consumption and revising the rates of GST.
