Summary

To establish the highest standards of co-operative federalism in the functioning of the GST Council, the government must first recognize that the GST Council, as India's first constitutional federal body vested with the power to take all major decisions regarding this tax system, serves as the primary decision-making entity. This authority extends significantly beyond simple taxation to encompass a wide range of critical policy domains essential for long-term economic stability and global competitiveness. Key areas that must be integrated into this framework include revenue mobilization efforts following natural calamities, detailed analysis of these events to prevent future disasters, comprehensive compensation plans for affected sectors, rationalization of interest rates, strict management of the real estate sector under the GST framework, systemic reforms across various industries, and the closure or modification of specific GoM (GoM for Revenue Mobilization Natural Calamities) entities such as the Taxman. Without effectively coordinating these diverse mandates, the GST Council risks facing paralysis if it operates in isolation. Therefore, the successful integration of these specialized GoMs ensures that India maintains its constitutional supremacy while adapting its fiscal policies to meet urgent challenges like disaster relief and market rationalization, ultimately reinforcing the nation's position as a leading global finance and tax hub.
