India GST update for 8 October 2026: what the official listings show

This is a source check, not a tax-news rumour. InvoiceMove reviewed the official CBIC Tax Information Portal and related GST listings for the 8 October 2026 update window.

InvoiceMove editorial teamUpdated

What was checked

The CBIC Tax Information Portal was checked for its latest GST notifications and circulars, together with the CBIC GST information pages. The portal currently shows earlier 2026 material, including Circular 256/02/2026-GST dated 25 July 2026 and Notification 02/2026-Central Tax dated 7 May 2026 in the listings surfaced during the check.

What this means for an invoice

This check does not announce a rate change, exemption or filing-date change. Do not change the tax rate on an existing invoice only because an article has been published. Confirm the applicable notification, effective date and supply classification from an official source or your tax adviser.

How to verify a later update

  1. Open the CBIC Tax Information Portal and select GST.
  2. Check the notification or circular date and reference number.
  3. Read the complete document, including effective dates and scope.
  4. Confirm whether it applies to your registration, supply and period.
  5. Update an invoice template only after that review.
