Govt to coax Opposition to pass GST Bill

India’s Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today that the government would reach out to the opposition and try to persuade them to allow the amendment bill for implementation of GST.

"The process of economic reforms is a continuing one, no reform legislation is stopped in Parliament in past though delay may occur ... make efforts with opposition to get GST passed by Upper House in coming Parliament session," he said at UAE India Economic Forum 2015 Meeting here.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) must be implemented from April 1st, 2016. However, the deadline may be missed if Parliament does not pass the Constitution Amendment Bill in the upcoming winter session beginning November 26th.
