FAQ :
The GST Appellate Tribunals are anticipated to commence operations around July or August 2024.
These tribunals will serve as the second appellate authority for hearing appeals against orders passed under the Central and State GST laws, resolving taxpayer disputes within the indirect tax framework.
The process was delayed due to discrepancies in eligibility and age criteria for tribunal members and presiding officers, which have now been rectified through amendments cleared by the GST Council.
