Seven-hour GST debate to begin at noon in Lok Sabha
March 29, 2017 10:37
Just in: the government asks Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan to take up the GST Bill for passing without the Question Hour. The GST debate is likely to begin at noon and go on for seven hours.
Four Bills related to the Goods and Services Tax will be debated in the Lok Sabha. The government needs to ensure that these bills are approved by Parliament in the current Budget session to be able to meet a July 1 deadline for the launch of GST, a unified tax regime that subsumed a slew of indirect taxes at the centre and in states.
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley will speak first, followed by former union minister M Veerappa Moily representing the Congress.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called a meeting of his council of ministers to brief them about the Bills.
