At least 14-15 states have opposed the recommendations made by the Group of Ministers on the GST Appellate Tribunals, sources with knowledge of the matter told CNBC-TV18.
The recommendations are currently being deliberated upon at the 49th GST Council meeting in New Delhi.
Sources also said that the proposals have drawn concerns from states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Kerala, and Rajasthan.
Bihar and Punjab have also opposed the recommendations of the council. The states have expressed reservations as they want a separate state tribunal from the proposed National Tribunal, sources said.
CNBC-TV18 had earlier reported on February 14 that the GoM report proposes to constitute a Principal Bench of the Appellate Tribunal at New Delhi.
Other recommendations from the GoM included creating the Appellate Tribunal for hearing appeals against orders passed by the Appellate Authority or the Revisional Authority. The proposed principal Bench to be presided over by the President and shall consist of a Technical Member (Centre) or a Technical Member (State), among others, CNBC-TV18 had reported citing sources.
