๐ข **Oil India Receives Relief in Assam Land Tax Matter; GST on Royalty Issue Continues**
In a significant development, the Supreme Court has disposed of the long-pending **Assam land tax dispute** after the State indicated that it would withdraw the production-based land tax through legislation.
However, the separate dispute regarding the **applicability of GST on royalty** under the **Oil Fields (Regulation & Development) Act, 1948** remains pending before the Supreme Court.
**Why this matters:**
โ
The land tax issue has moved towards resolution.
โ
The GST-on-royalty matter is still awaiting a final judicial decision.
โ
The outcome could have wider implications for the **oil & gas, mining and natural resource sectors**, where royalty payments are common.
**Note:** The GST-on-royalty issue has **not yet been finally decided**, and businesses should continue to follow the applicable legal requirements until the Supreme Court delivers its judgment.
