Desktop tool: rate checking by document date, and the set-off rule stated
The e-Way Bill rate check now tests an implied rate against the rates in force on the date of the document itself rather than against a fixed list, so 40% after 22 September 2025 and 28% on tobacco inside the deferral window are no longer reported as anomalies. Cess-bearing goods and multi-rate consignments are left out of that test. The rate registry gained the 1.5% rate notified by Schedule VI of Notification No. 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), and the notification references for the September 2025 change were verified and recorded. The rule for measuring an amount is now stated on the parameter worksheet and in the draft notice: never across tax heads, never across financial years, but within a year a tax period of excess sets off a tax period of shortfall, with the un-netted figure shown alongside. The GST Reference rate section was corrected to match.
Workbench redesign
Navigation, search, calculator working papers, mobile layouts, printable reference tables and the Desktop Tool presentation were expanded.
GST Changes from 1 April 2026: What Changed, What Did Not
A date-sensitive guide to the GST changes around 1 April 2026, including intermediary services, the GST appellate framework, and the Finance Act amendments to discounts and refunds that were enacted but remained subject to a separate commencement notification.
The September 2025 rate change, and the two dates that catch people out
Twelve and twenty-eight per cent are gone, forty per cent is not a standard rate, tobacco kept its old rate for four months longer than everything else, and a supply that straddles either change date is not settled by its invoice date.
