GST collections slipped for the second straight month to Rs 80,808 crore in November, down from over Rs 83,000 crore in the previous month.

Prior to this, a preparatory meeting of the GST Council's Fitment Committee is scheduled for January 9 to discuss rates and simplification of returns.
Officials are likely to consider recommendations of the panel on returns, handicraft and GST Laws. The council is also likely to consider the validity of handicrafts in the exempted category, and which other products can be placed in this category.
According to the official, certain amendments may be made in the GST Law during the council meeting on January 18.
