India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) dispute resolution mechanism is undergoing a significant transformation with the introduction of the GSTAT Procedure Rules, 2025, which will come into effect on April 24, 2025. The newly notified rules are designed to streamline the resolution process for pending GST appeals by introducing a digital-first and transparent framework, thereby diminishing the dependence on High Courts. This initiative is geared towards expediting the resolution of disputes, enhancing taxpayer confidence in the system, and aligning with India’s objectives of improving the ease of doing business in the country. The introduction of these rules marks a crucial milestone in the country’s efforts to simplify and strengthen its tax dispute resolution mechanism, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and effective taxation system.
