Bill to Amend Manipur GST Act Tabled in Lok Sabha by Finance Minister Sitharaman

Moving the Bill for consideration and passage, Sitharaman underscored the government’s intent to ensure that the tax regime remains transparent, efficient, and responsive to current economic realities. According to official sources, the amendments are designed to refine key provisions of the law, streamline compliance, and strengthen the overall GST architecture as implemented in the state.

The introduction of the amendment marks another step in the Centre’s ongoing effort to harmonise GST-related laws across states while ensuring that local tax mechanisms remain robust and aligned with national standards. Members of the House are expected to review the proposed adjustments before the Bill advances through the legislative process.

By updating a law that has been in force for nearly eight years, the government seeks not only to modernise tax procedures but also to reinforce confidence in the administration’s commitment to improving fiscal governance. The proposed changes, once enacted, are likely to influence how businesses in Manipur navigate the GST system and may contribute to more streamlined revenue operations across the region.
