Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna is likely to become the convenor of the 7-member GST rate rationalization panel. Bihar Finance Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary will replace Tarkishore Prasad, and Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda will be added as a member.
The position of convenor of the GoM on GST rate rationalisation fell vacant after former Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, who was the convenor of the panel, demitted office in May this year.
