FAQ :

The Finance Bill 2026 aims to simplify GST compliance, enhance business liquidity, and boost confidence by introducing new provisions under the GST 2.0 framework.

A risk-based fast-track registration mechanism will provide GST registration approvals within three working days for low-risk applicants whose Aadhaar and PAN details are verified.

The Bill proposes automatic sanction of 90% of refund claims under the inverted duty structure, with the remaining 10% processed post-verification.

Industries such as textiles, footwear, and fertilisers, which often face liquidity challenges due to delayed refunds under the inverted duty structure, are expected to benefit.

An inverted duty structure occurs when the tax rate on inputs is higher than that on finished goods, leading to an accumulation of input tax credit.

The changes are proposed for inclusion in the upcoming Budget and will be tabled in Parliament with the Union Budget 2026-27.
