Although the legal provisions were established by the GST Act, the physical constitution of state and regional benches only accelerated notably in the 2023-2024 period. For the most up-to-date information on which benches are currently functional, stakeholders should consult the latest official notifications from the Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
