Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is likely to present the Centre's proposal for rationalising goods and services tax (GST) rates before a Group of Ministers (GoM) at a two-day meeting starting August 20 in the national capital.

The GoM, headed by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, is slated to meet in person at Vigyan Bhawan on August 20 and 21, with proceedings beginning at noon, as per the report.

A six-member state panel is expected to deliberate on the Union government's plan to move to a simplified two-slab GST structure.
