GST may have done away with inter-State check-posts, but it hasn’t stopped State motor vehicles departments from extorting and harassing truckers. And since transport is outside of GST, there’s not much that the GST Council can do.
To ensure seamless movement of goods, the Centre has formed a task force to work with the GST Council and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways; it will seek to find common ground among the transport and commercial tax departments of States.
“The taskforce will ensure synchronisation of various State-level organisations like transport, State excise and others and provide a system for seamless transportation,” Shashank Priya, Commissioner, GST Council, told BusinessLine .
He, however, said the task force will await finalisation of the e-way bills to get going with this task.
