Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary was on Friday appointed the convener of the GST rate rationalisation group of ministers.

An official memorandum said other members of the reconstituted panel would include Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Khanna, Goa Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho and Rajasthan Medical and Health Service Minister Gajendra Singh. The GoM also has West Bengal Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya, Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda and Kerala Finance Minister KN Balagopal as the members.

The seven-member GoM has been asked to suggest the required rate rationalisation and correction of inverted duty structure with an objective of simplifying the rate structure.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
