States seek changes in powers of Goods and Services Tax Council

NEW DELHI: Members of Parliament from opposition parties on Friday demanded changes in the decision-making process of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, the supreme body that will govern the proposed indirect tax structure and which will be empowered to decide in case of a dispute between states and Centre. In the third meeting of the consultative committee on finance, MPs told finance minister P Chidambaram that to make GST acceptable to states, the government must make the decision-making powers of the GST Council more "practicable by providing decisions with two-third majority of the states rather than on consensus basis".
