New Delhi, Mar 29 (IBNS): Members of Lok Sabha, on Wednesday afternoon, began their debate on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill 2017 after the bill was discussed by Union Finance Arun Jaitley earlier in the day.

 Four GST Bills, the Central Goods and Service Tax (CGST), Integrated Goods and Service Tax (IGST), Union Territories-GST (UT GST) and GST Compensation Bills, were tabled at the Budget Session of the Parliament on Monday.

Jaitley hailed the bill as 'one nation, one tax' and said it does away with tax on taxes.

He said, among other things, GST implementation will help raise revenues, make business transactions smoother, cut down red tape and promote growth.

Jaitley proposed that the GST Council will have members from 29 states and two Union Territories.
