India's GST framework changed significantly in 2026. GSTN has rolled out new API validations, tightened the e-invoice and e-way bill ecosystem, and introduced IMS - a system that now flags ITC mismatches before you file. Finance and tax teams that haven't reviewed their reconciliation and master data processes against these changes are filing with exposure they may not see until a notice arrives.

This session breaks down what has changed, where gaps are forming, and what your team can do over the next six months to reduce audit risk. Here's what you'll learn:

• 2026 GST rule changes affecting e-invoice generation, e-way bill compliance, and return filing
• Recent GSTN advisories and what system-driven validations mean for your data
• ITC risks from IMS and supplier non-compliance, and how to catch issues before the return cycle closes
• HSN validation failures and master data issues that can trigger notices
• AI-powered reconciliation and exception management in practice
• A 10-action checklist for finance and tax teams to prepare for the next six months
