The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is critical for India to revive economy, according to Sunil Kanoria, President, Assocham.

"Even if special session of Parliament is required, or extension current session is needed, let GST amendment see the light and roll out from ensuing financial year," he said.

The industry was also concerned that the present session of Parliament could not do much, he added.

While agreeing to the government's contention that GST was revenue neutral, Kanoria said a 'perfect'' GST would still be a long way.

The focus of Assocham would be on job creation, he added.
