Prime Minister Not Sure of GST Date?
THE Prime Minister seems to be not very sure as to when he can bring in GST in the country. Addressing a business luncheon hosted by Nippon Keidanren in Tokyo yesterday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, “We are continuing the process of reform of both direct and indirect taxes and hope to unify in due course all indirect taxes into a single Goods and Services Tax” So it is now in 'due course'; God knows when the due course would arrive.
Meanwhile BJP Leader Sushma Swaraj flayed Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for their comments flaunting Central assistance to Bihar. She says 'such comments will make the states not subscribe to the move for goods and service tax.
