The CBIC has refuted a viral social media message claiming new GST transition benefits would be applicable from September 22, 2025, deeming it factually incorrect and misleading. The GST council approved 'next-gen' reforms on September 3, 2025, including a shift to a two-slab tax structure.

CBIC said that such claims are factually incorrect and misleading.
