GST Revision 'Utterly Fails' To Solve Problems, Says Congress | Read

Keeping up the pressure on the government for the disruption caused due to the Goods and Services Tax, the Congress on Saturday welcomed the "interim relief" cleared by the GST council yesterday but stressed the government had "utterly failed" to address the structural problems of the tax regime. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the bitter truth was that the government has lost the opportunity to have an uncomplicated tax regime due to the "sheer incompetence" of a "panic-stricken government... lost in the chaos of its own making".
