1.The GST Council took a decision to discontinue the compensation cess effective from September 22, 2025 on all items except tobacco and related products. The cess levy on tobacco and related products was also removed from February 1, 2026. Accordingly, from the above period, there is No cess collection.
https://t.co/w0rw8in9TA view of the above, from the month of November 2025 (first tax period post GST rate rationalisation), GST revenue figures published in the public domain transparently showed compensation cess separately in a table below and the year-on-year growth was computed on the tax base consisting of CGST, SGST and IGST for the corresponding periods. A foot note was also carried as an ample disclosure.
3.A growth rate is meaningful only when it is computed on a comparable basis, that is, on the same set of levies on both sides of the comparison. Otherwise, it is like comparing apples and oranges.
4.The purpose of a growth figure is to show how the tax base has moved. The GST revenue figures published month on month reflect the correct picture of GST revenue performance, with full disclosure. Where a levy has ceased to exist in law, retaining it in the base measures something else altogether. It is neither arithmetically right nor makes any logical sense.
5.Therefore, any attempt to cherry-pick figures from two different tax bases is thoroughly misleading and mischievous. A fair analysis must compare like with like, instead of misleading our citizens by comparing two fundamentally different datasets.

You continue checking the vibes… he’ll continue losing elections. And when it’s all over, he’ll probably leave for Thailand, leaving you people behind to keep explaining the “vibes.” 😂😭

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
MAHIYA NAMAN KAYO | Secretary of National Defense Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr. responded to a note from the Chinese side during the Seoul Defense Dialogue (SDD) 2026 in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
#DNDPHL#DiKaPasisiil#SDD2026
A masterclass in standing up to intimidation.
During the Seoul Defense Dialogue 2026, a Chinese military attaché handed Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro a note reiterating Beijing’s claim that the 2016 South China Sea ruling is “illegal, null and void.”
Teodoro read it aloud and dismantled it point by point.
“No binding force” ~ “Because you don’t want to be subjected to UNCLOS.”
“China does not accept the ruling” ~ “Of course, because you lost.”
Then, in Filipino: “Show a little decency. Have a little shame.”
The room applauded.
Teodoro called China’s move “actual coercion, bullying and aggression” and kept the note as a “memento.”
Kashmir is not just singing the full Vande Matarm without controversy or drama but also displaying the lyrics for people to sing along and learn the last few stanzas we were never taught. Great to see this. Kudos.

Maybe this is exactly what Rahul Gandhi was talking about the other day, the “steel cup vs paper cup” thing.
