More importantly there is a constitutional mandate, and the mandate is on September 15 you will lose your right to collect existing taxes. So, therefore, the alternate system has to come in place and hopefully, by that date the (GST) system will come into place in a more smooth manner, he said. The GST Constitutional Amendment Bill provides for roll out of the Goods and Services Tax by September 15, failing which the government will lose its legal entitlement to collect taxes.

Asked if there is a rethink on the tax rates as demanded by sectors like textiles, he said the GST Council is always working with an open mind. …If you see great force in some argument, the Council has always shown its openness. No one Central or state government can decide this. It is collectively decided by all of us. So far, every decision has been merit based.
