New Delhi: Simplified Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration for small e-commerce sellers, faster refunds and streamlined documentation are among a series of process reforms likely to take effect from November 1, as the government moves to reduce compliance burdens for businesses.
The changes were approved at the 57th GST Council meeting on October 8 and will be rolled out in phases, an official said on Thursday. Reforms that can be implemented through administrative measures are expected to come into force from November 1, 2026, while those requiring amendments to GST law are slated for April 1, 2027.
