The government is issuing the ordinance to amend key taxation laws, including the Kerala GST Act, to enforce penal provisions by the October 1 deadline, which could not be met through the regular legislative process.
The ordinance proposes amnesty schemes for tax defaulters under the Kerala Finance Act 2008 and Kerala Finance Act 2024, and introduces penal provisions for traders failing to follow mandatory registration procedures under the Kerala GST Act 2017.
The next Kerala Assembly session is scheduled to begin on October 4.
If the Governor declines the ordinance, the State could face a legal deadlock regarding the implementation of the new tax provisions.

If the ordinance is cleared, the associated bill must be passed during the upcoming Assembly session. If not, it must be re-promulgated within 42 days after the session commences.
