IGST, UTGST and Compensation Cess Source Review Register

The three allied Acts that, together with the CGST Act and each State's/UT's own SGST or UTGST Act, complete India's GST framework.
PublicationStatus / scope
Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017Current - levies IGST on inter-State supply and imports; sets place-of-supply rules
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017Current - applies only to the 5 UTs without a legislature (Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Ladakh)
GST (Compensation to States) Act, 2017Current, transition in progress - the 5-year compensation guarantee ended June 2022; the cess mechanism itself has been substantially wound down/replaced since February 2026

Allied indirect-tax laws

GST work may require customs, compensation cess, health-security cess, legacy excise or service-tax transition, anti-profiteering, trade-remedy and sector-specific provisions. Each allied law has its own charging event, valuation, procedure and appeal route. Use this library to identify interfaces, then verify the controlling Act, subordinate legislation and effective date. Do not assume that a GST registration, invoice or portal treatment settles a liability arising under another statute.
