57th GST Council Now Meets on 7 October: The Five Items Reported to Be on the Table, and What the Law Says on Each Today
The 57th GST Council, first fixed for 12 September, now meets on Wednesday 7 October 2026 after the BRICS summit clash. The agenda is not public; five items are reported. For each, the law as it stands today, whether a change needs a notification or an Act amendment, and what not to do in the meantime.

I write on GST and compliance here — registration thresholds, input tax credit and the conditions attached to claiming it, e-invoicing and e-way bill rules, the GSTR-1 / 3B / 9 return cycle, and the late fees and interest that follow a missed deadline. I work from the CGST Act, the rules made under it and CBIC circulars, and I call out the places where the portal behaves differently from what the section actually says. I'm writing for the person who has to file the return, so I state deadlines and penalty numbers plainly rather than burying them.
