In a move to engage with stakeholders and invite public comments on
Goods and Services Tax (GST) issues, draft business processes on GST
registration, refunds and payments has been put on the web and comments
invited through the MyGov.in portal, an official statement said.
"The
draft model CGST, SGST and IGST laws, along with GST business processes
for filing of returns, shall also be put up for inviting comments of
stakeholders in due course," said a finance ministry statement.
Emphasising
that the government intends to introduce the GST at the earliest, the
statement said: "The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Second
Amendment) Bill, 2014, has been introduced in the parliament for
facilitating the introduction of GST in the country."
Earlier
this week, the empowered committee of state finance ministers on the GST
recommended that the Reserve Bank of India's e-Kuber solution be used
for consolidating and settlement of accounts under the GST system.
E-Kuber, the RBI's core banking solution, is designed as an integrated payment and receipt mechanism.
In
three reports relating to registration, payment process and refunds in
the GST, the committee suggested that internet banking, over the counter
payment and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic
Funds Transfer (NEFT) mechanisms, used to transfer funds, should be
extensively used to facilitate payments.
The GST seeks to create a
single Indian market by subsuming most indirect taxes levies of the
central and state governments, such as excise duty, service tax and
value-added tax that is seen as facilitating tax compliance, and curbing
inflation through better supply chains.
The central government has set the target to reform India's indirect tax regime from April next year.
But
securing legal sanction for GST is proving a lengthy process, given the
Narendra Modi government's inadequate strength in the upper house as
bill being a constitution amendment bill, needs passage in parliament
with two-thirds majority, following ratification by at least 15 state
legislatures, before it can be sent to the president for his assent.
