🟡 Amendment in Section 13, IGST Act
The provision for determining the place of supply for 'intermediary services' as location of supplier is proposed to be omitted, thereby making place of supply as location of the service recepient as per default provision - a globally accepted standard for such services.
The GST amendments in the Union Budget 2026 have been limited but they signal meaningful progress for businesses and trade facilitation.

🟡 Amendments in Section 15 and Section 34
Section 15(3)(b) has been proposed to be amended to omit the requirement of establishing the post-sale discount in terms of an agreement entered into before or at the time of supply and specifically linking of the same with relevant invoices.
Credit notes are now recognised as a valid route for post-sales discount, thereby bridging the gap between valuation provisions and issuance of credit notes.
🟡 Amendment in Section 101A
Pending constitution of the National Appellate Authority, existing Authority or Tribunals may be empowered to hear appeals under Section 101B.
Effective from April 2026.
The balance of power is changing.

The bigger picture
GSTN is steadily transforming from a filing portal into a system-led enforcement framework.
The direction is unmistakable:
- System-determined minimums
- Limited scope for adjustments
- Stronger audit trails
- Reduced interpretational flexibility
If your compliance approach has been ‘file first, fix later’, that margin is shrinking fast.
GST compliance is no longer about meeting deadlines alone:
it’s about staying aligned with a system that tracks every move in near real time.
GST just became more balanced and far less forgiving.
Most taxpayers would miss the shift as 'business as usual' but in practice, the changes removes ability to ‘tweak’ the numbers and reshapes how much interest you pay, how liabilities are identified, and where mistakes can no longer hide.
GSTN has rolled out a series of upgrades to how interest, liabilities, and ITC flow through the system.
Here’s is what actually changed, minus the jargon.
🟡 Registration cancelled? Interest still follows
A cancelled registration is no longer a clean exit.
Any pending interest arising from a delayed final GSTR-3B will now be recovered through GSTR-10 (Final Return).
CBIC has communicated to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs that there will be no legislative or non-legislative business for them to present in the upcoming budget session.

Import of Goods Now Integrated into Invoice Management System
Starting October 2025, the Bill of Entry details for imports, including SEZ transactions will appear directly in the Invoice Management System.
That means:
🟡 Importers can now accept or keep BoEs pending (no ‘reject’ option).
🟡 If no action is taken, the record is deemed accepted.
🟡 Accepted BoEs flow automatically into GSTR-2B and GSTR-3B.
If the GSTIN in a BoE is amended, the previous GSTIN must reverse ITC, and the new GSTIN gets credit. Taxpayers can declare partial reversals as well.
