GST Suffers a Setback at the Centre too

WITH Sushil Modi out of the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers causing irreparable damage to the GST movement, there is yet another shock at the Centre. The JSTRU-II in CBEC is in charge of co-ordination and we understand that the JS has resigned and the FM has accepted his resignation. It seems the Board is now raising some technical objections about his resignation. Don't they raise objections before the resignation is accepted? They are on the lookout for a new JSTRU for Service Tax any takers?
