Centre notifies creation of principal bench of GST Appellate Tribunal

New Delhi: The Centre on Monday notified creation of the principal bench of Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT).

On February 18, 2023, the GST Council had recommended setting up GSTAT with one Principal Bench and a number of State Benches.

The Principal Bench will be set up in New Delhi and regional Benches in different States are expected to provide a unified structure for resolution of disputes under GST. The Centre had notified setting up 31 state benches of GSTAT on September 15.
