New Delhi: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) enforcement framework might soon see significant changes with tax officers likely to lose the power to arrest evaders, as part of decriminalisation of the GST law.
While the 56th GST Council meeting held in September 2025 saw major steps on rationalisation of tax rates, the 57th meeting, to be held on October 7, is likely to take up policy reforms that include change in enforcement provision.
