The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has said reports regarding the Group of Ministers (GoM) recommendations on GST rate changes are premature and speculative.

In a statement, it said, “A GoM was constituted to look into the GST rate rationalisation, apart from certain other issues referred by the GST Council... It is the GST Council that is empowered to recommend GST rates, including changes. The GoM is only a recommendatory body.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
