GST compensation to States for revenue shortfall resulting from subsuming of local taxes such as VAT in the uniform national tax will end in June.
Many states have demanded that the GST compensation cess regime be extended for another five years and the share of the Union government in the centrally-sponsored schemes be raised as the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their revenues.
The GST compensation to States for revenue shortfall resulting from subsuming of local taxes such as VAT in the uniform national tax Goods and Services Tax (GST) will end in June next year.
“There has been a loss of revenue to the States due to the GST tax system, the Centre has not made arrangements to compensate the loss of revenue of about ₹5,000 crore to the State in the coming year, so the GST compensation grant should be continued for the next five years after June 2022,” Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
