A step forward: 83 GSTAT members allotted benches
In an office order issued by the Department of Revenue on Saturday, the ministry said the allotments were approved by the competent authority and that all members have been asked to join their respective benches by January 21. The move is expected to pave the way for the start of GSTAT hearings shortly thereafter. The Centre is also learnt to have directed the state governments to expedite the provision of courtrooms and office space to ensure that members can begin hearings immediately after joining.
