NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya while commenting on the passage of the Good and Services Tax (GST) bill has said that India is moving in the right direction on big ticket reforms and that he is hopeful about the passage of the GST bill during the Winter Session of Parliament.
Under this big ticket reform, central and state taxes will get included into GST, which will reduce the multiplicity of taxes, and thus bring down the compliance cost. With GST, the burden of Central Sales Tax (CST) will also be phased out. Panagariya said that GST will hopefully come into play and a lot of changes will happen.
Panagariya though urged the industry to improve their efficiencies rather than asking for tax reliefs to increase profitability. He further said that for achieving transformational economic growth, the industry would have to think big in terms of production, scale and efficacy to capture bigger markets domestically as well as abroad.
The NITI Aayog Vice Chairman while highlighting the meeting of the fiscal deficit target amid 7th Pay Commission report said that the government is committed and the pay panel report will not kick in for most of the current fiscal year.
