India’s GST Council to review tax rates on insurance, aiming to exempt health and term life insurance.

The GST Council in India plans to review GST rates on insurance products, with a focus on health and life insurance. A Group of Ministers suggested exempting health insurance for senior citizens, term life insurance, and health insurance with a coverage of ₹5 lakh, while maintaining an 18% GST rate on other policies. The GST Council will discuss these recommendations at their December 21 meeting. The GST collected from insurance premiums over the last five years exceeds ₹52,000 crore.
