The meeting of the GST Council, convened to decide on a cut in the tax rates on electric vehicles, has been postponed as finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman was pre-occupied in Parliament, officials said.
The 36th GST Council meeting, which was to be held through video conferencing, had only one item on the agenda — to consider the Centre’s proposal to slash GST rates on e-vehicles to 5 per cent from 12 per cent.
The GST Council meeting has been postponed and the new date would be decided later, officials said, adding that Sitharaman was required to attend Parliament as the Rajya Sabha was scheduled to take up for discussion the amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
