GST Bill - A Close Look Bares it All!

Kudos to Mr Majumder for writing this excellent article. The introduction of the Bill is, in itself, a huge achievement which the present Government can rightly take credit for. It is indeed heartening to note that, levies such as Octroi, Entry Tax, Entertainment Tax and Luxury Tax would now be subsumed under the GST rate.

In case the Opposition creates issues, the Government should call for a joint session of the Parliament and have this Bill passed in the Budget session, as the country can ill-afford not to have this important legislation in place at the earliest.
