New Delhi, Aug 24 (IBNS): The Goods and Services Tax bill was ratified by the Delhi Assembly on Wednesday.

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tweeted: "Delhi Assembly passes the resolution to ratify 122nd Constitution amendment bill passed by both Houses of Parliament for creation of GST."

"GST bill for the first time recognises Delhi as a state under the new Constitutional amendment to Art 366 - step in right direction finally," he said.

The Lok Sabha on Aug 8  unanimously passed the 122nd Constitutional Amendment Bill as amended by the Rajya Sabha with even  Prime Minister Narendra Modi participating in the debate related to the GST Bill and saying that the move will help the country in gaining freedom from tax terrorism.

The Bill was passed  with 443 members voting in favour of it.
