GST – Who is Concerned? – Certainly not CBEC

Government is all about concern. They have too many concerned (about what?) officers, but very few officers concerned.

And in this country everyone knows what the other person should do.

Now the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman says “no more stimulus ” – Is it not for the Finance Minister to say?

Dr. Kelkar , the Chairman of the Finance Commission talks about GST .

In the whole scheme of things, when so much noise is being made about the GST , the CBEC that is responsible for collecting a major chunk of the future GST in the present form of excise and Service Tax, seems to be nowhere in the picture. CBEC seems to be having as much information and plans about GST as you have and you know, it is not much !

How are they going to implement the GST without the involvement of the CBEC and their Commissioners?
