Chandigarh, November 22
The state government will take up the issue of pending GST payments with the Centre. Flagging the issue during the Cabinet meeting today, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh said the delay of GST payments was causing severe financial problems for the state.
He said he would soon write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in this regard and seek immediate release of not just Rs1,464 crore pending GST compensation, but also the state’s share from the IGST collected by the Centre.
State Finance Minister Manpreet Badal also shared concern on delay in payment of salaries to government employees and the state’s inability to meet critical expenses in the absence of timely payments on account of GST and inter-state GST (IGST). — TNS
