The GST Council will consider a proposal to remove arrest powers under the Goods and Services Tax regime at its October 7 meeting, as the government seeks to address concerns over tax authorities’ overreach and improve investor sentiment, Indian Express reported, citing two people aware of the development. The proposal could mark a significant change in tax enforcement more than nine years after GST was introduced in July 2017. A final decision is pending and any removal of arrest provisions would require legislative changes.
