| 101st Amendment | 2016 | Introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) which significantly impacted aviation and maritime sectors by rationalizing multiple taxes into a single tax structure, affecting fuel costs, service charges, and operational expenses. | GST implementation reduced tax cascading effects in transport services, though aviation fuel remains outside GST purview, continuing to impact airline operational costs and ticket pricing structures. |
