Pass the Goods and Services Tax bill! Parliament Logjam is hurting the economy of India!


Pass the Goods and Services Tax bill! Parliament Logjam is hurting the economy of India!
The Issue
Within six days, the monsoon session of parliament will be over and one of the most important bill- Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill is still pending.
I’m a taxpayer and my hard earned income is funding these parliament sessions. In the fortnight since the session has started, not one law has been passed.
I recently read this in an article that over Rs. 260 crores of our money will been lost to the disruptions! This is shocking.
Sign my petition asking the party leaders to pass the GST bill before the session is over!
When the BJP was in opposition there was a logjam and now that the Congress is in opposition, there is another logjam. The common man is the one suffering and our hard earned money is being wasted by our Parliamentarians.
The Parliament has only six days left. Sign my petition and ask them to pass the important Goods and Services Tax bill!
The GST is one of the most critical reforms for India. The bill will not only create an efficient market and lower costs but help generate lakhs of new jobs.
It will also introduce a simpler and a much more transparent system of paying taxes by reducing scope of manipulation by tax authorities. This in turn will boost revenue collection and help bring down the prices of goods.
But for this to happen, the Parliament must pass it in this session.
If the fate of GST bill gets pushed to the winter session, GST’s rollout date could be delayed by at least a year.
Sign my petition and ask the party leaders to pass the GST bill.
We only have six days left.
