Goods and Services Tax(GST) ratified states
Given the passage of the Constitution Amendment Bill for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the Parliament (Rajya Sabha on 3 August 2016 and Lok Sabha on 8 August 2016), the Government of India seems committed to replace all the indirect taxes levied on goods and services by the Centre and States and implement GST by April 2017. As a next step, the Bill will need to be ratified by more than 50 perecnt state legislatures, before being put for the President’s assent.
