Under GST voting rules:

1. Centre has one-third weight
2. States have equal individual votes
3. Decisions need three-fourths weighted majority
4. Centre alone can veto

Correct answer: Decisions need three-fourths weighted majority

Solution

GST Council decisions are taken by a weighted voting system, not by simple one-person-one-vote. A three-fourths majority of weighted votes is required for a decision. The Centre does not have a veto, and states do not have equal individual votes.
