Sir, whether GST is possible to be implemented this year ???
The Congress has given its support with the condition set earlier. They were I) 1% additional tax ii) 18% fixing a cap iii) an independent judge for GST dispute. BJP has accepted on the terms except fixing of 18% tax rate as a higher rate.
Will this year be a dawn for GST ? Let's toss…
