BENGALURU, July 2: Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal today said that Jammu and Kashmir would roll out GST in the next few days.
“Jammu and Kashmir is the only State which failed to meet the June 30 deadline for the GST rollout. The new indirect tax regime will be implemented there in the next few days,” he said on the sidelines of a GST-related event here.
J&K Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu had yesterday stated in New Delhi that the State is likely to clear the legislation on the indirect tax regime by July 6.
Asked about traders staging protest in Srinagar against GST, Goyal said that protests sometimes are politically motivated, but it is good for the country, otherwise people of Jammu and Kashmir will suffer. (PTI)
