GST 2.0 Rollout: Council Readies Major Overhaul To Fast-Track Claims, Ease Blocked ITC Norms
ITC launched an initiative in a taxation development.

In terms of Input Tax Credit, it is proposed that a genuine buyer who holds the invoice, has taken delivery of the goods, and has paid the supplier in full, which will also include the tax component and their credit unconditionally.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -4.0% on the day at ₹255.20, and has returned -8.8% over three months. It sits 40% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The fmcg sector has moved -3.5% over the same period, so ITC is running 5.3 points behind its peers.
This is a Tax / tariff / duty event. Duty and incentive changes reset landed cost and competitive position immediately, and unlike demand shifts they arrive on a known date. On the day the stock is -4.0%, so the market took notice.
For ITC, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the fmcg peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Tax changes flow through to post-tax earnings and can shift the relative appeal of entire asset classes.
- With GST Council involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- The company directly in focus is ITC.
- Sector exposure: FMCG.
