The Delhi Government has formed committees to remove bottlenecks in implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for traders in markets across the national Capital.
Announcing the decision on Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that each committee will have 10 to 15 members which would be in touch with the Government to highlight any issues related to GST implementation.
Sisodia, who also holds the Finance portfolio, said that before the meetings of GST council, the Delhi Government will hold discussions with the committees to take feedback, before raking up their concern in the council.
"If the issues is solved at the State level, then our Government would do it accordingly. Otherwise, I will put forth all the concerns of traders in the GST Council to find an amicable solution," Sisodia said.
Sisodia informed that the committees have been formed and in the next two weeks, they will start functioning.
"The committee will comprise of local businessmen or chartered accountants. Each committee will represent their respective markets in the Capital," Sisodia said.
"The purpose of such committees is to create a two way communication between the Government and the traders to remove the bottlenecks in the GST implementation," Dy CM added. At the initial stage, there will be around 250 such committees across Delhi.
Earlier, the Delhi Government launched six "GST help vans" in commercial areas in the city to address trader's problems arising out of the new tax regime.
