New Delhi:

The Supreme Court has said in an important decision on Thursday that the recommendations of the GST Council are not binding on the Center and the states.

That is, whatever recommendations the GST Council gives, the central and state governments are not bound to implement them, rather these recommendations should be seen as advice and advice.

The court said that they only have persuasive value.

The top court also said that Parliament and state legislatures have equal powers to make laws on GST and the GST Council is there to give them suitable advice on the same.
