Bihar becomes second state after Telangana to pass GST bill

By

The Bihar Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill, 2017, was passed by the bicameral state legislature on Monday, making Bihar the second state after Telangana to adopt the  new tax reforms.  With the lone exception of Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist), all the political parties backed the Bills associated with the GST. 
Bihar was also the second state in the country, after Assam, to rectify the constitutional amendment Bill. The Bill, along with five others, was tabled in a special session of the state legislature on Monday. 
 
Terming the tax reform as pro-poor and a development-booster, Commercial Tax Minister Vijayendra Yadav said  GST is the need of the hour. Crediting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the smooth passage of the Bill, the minister said  Kumar had been a strong supporter of the new tax regime since the time it was conceptualised.
