Q · GS-II: Examine the changing nature of Centre-State financial relations in light of the GST regime. (150 words)

The 101st Constitutional Amendment of 2017 fundamentally restructured fiscal federalism by subsuming multiple indirect taxes into the GST regime. The introduction of the GST Council, with its weighted voting mechanism, created a unique co-operative fiscal architecture — but one where the Union retains disproportionate vetoing power. Compensation cess arrangements, conceived as a five-year cushion, became a flashpoint during COVID-19 when the Centre asked States to borrow. Recent litigation in the Mohit Minerals case clarified that GST Council recommendations are persuasive, not binding.
