After this, the report will be submitted to the GST Council. The GST Council can give relief on GST on life and health insurance in its next meeting.

The meeting will be held in the late April or early May. Then perhaps this case of insurance will also be resolved. There was a consensus in the states to completely eliminate the 18 percent tax on the term insurance plan. Due to no comment from IRDAI, the decision was not being made on the decision.
