(1) India has removed tax exemptions for banks and government-designated institutions importing gold, silver, and platinum, imposing a 3% tax on these imports, thereby increasing the cost for major channels supplying to one of the world's largest precious metals markets. (2) Its revenue secretary, Arvind Shrivastava, stated on Thursday that the government did not extend the exemption from the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) for precious metals imported through banks beyond March 31 of this year.
