HYDERABAD, Feb. 19, 2026 (TNT) :The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) will host a high-level summit on the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) here on Feb. 21.

“The programme aims to equip professionals and businesses with clarity and practical insights into the functioning and procedures of the newly formed appellate body,” he added.
The summit will feature technical sessions on the structure and functioning of GSTAT, including a practical walkthrough of the GSTAT e-filing system by experts from GSTN and NIC.
