Madhya Pradesh Becomes Fourth State to Clear GST Bill

Bhopal: In a special one-day session, Madhya Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday passed Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill unanimously, becoming the fourth state to have done so.

After the session, revenue minister Umashankar Gupta gave credit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union finance minister Arun Jaitley for allying fears from various quarters towards GST and evolving a consensus on the new tax regime.

“The concept of One India-One Tax would help in curbing inflation and corruption would be lowered,” former chief minister Babulal Gaur said.
