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.

A total of 31 benches are set to be established across 28 States and eight Union Territories.

The tribunals will provide taxpayers with a second appellate remedy, reducing the need to approach High Courts and thereby alleviating the burden on the higher judiciary.

Taxpayers have been encouraged to transition their GST-related cases from High Courts and the Supreme Court to the forthcoming GST appellate tribunals to expedite the resolution process.
