Finance body urges public to rely only on official GST updates, not viral posts

CBIC dismisses viral GST benefit claims

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has firmly denied a viral social media message suggesting that new GST transition benefits will take effect from September 22. The widely circulated post claimed that unused cess credit, input tax credit (ITC) on exempted supplies, and fresh price adjustment provisions would soon be allowed.
CBIC clarified on Sunday that the message is &ldquo;false and misleading,&rdquo; stressing that no such reforms are planned.
&ldquo;It has come to notice that an informal message claiming to be from Chairman CBIC is being widely circulated on social media, claiming that certain transition benefits under GST will be applicable from September 22&hellip; It is hereby informed that such claims are factually incorrect and misleading,&rdquo; the board said in a statement.
The tax authority urged traders, industry stakeholders, and the public to depend solely on official government notifications, circulars, and FAQs for reliable updates on GST.
The viral message had incorrectly suggested sweeping changes to GST rules. CBIC reminded that actual reforms, including a major rate restructuring, have already been implemented. The GST now functions under a simplified two-slab system of 5% and 18%, with a special 40% rate reserved for luxury and sin goods such as tobacco and cigarettes.
