In an interview, the Finance Minister addressed the persistent question of why petrol, diesel, and natural gas are not yet included under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. Responding to a query raised on the X platform, the minister clarified that the central government has already made the necessary legal provisions to bring these fuels into the GST framework. However, the Centre has intentionally not included it in its proposal to the GST Council. The key factor delaying the implementation is the need for a consensus among the states. The minister stated, "...whenever the decision is taken by the states in the council that yes, we will bring petrol and diesel in and at this rate, it will be easy to implement immediately after that decision is made." This places the onus for the decision, including the applicable tax rate, squarely on the state governments through the GST Council. #gst #petroldieselprice #financeminister #itwebvideos #fuelundergst #indianeconomy #gstcouncil #taxes #indiatoday #fminterview #petrolprice #dieselprice #statevscentre #economicpolicy #businessnews #fueltax
