A special one-day session of the Maharashtra legislature has been convened on May 17 to pass the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill and other related legislations.
The decision was taken at the cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis here today.
Parliament has passed the central GST and Integrated GST Bill and the President has already given his assent the Bill in September last year.
The GST is expected to come into force from July 1.
States can also levy GST in accordance of the powers vested with them. The special session of both houses of the state legislature will be held on May 17 to pass the state specific GST Bill.
The Maharashtra legislature had in a special sitting in August last year ratified the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Constitutional Amendment Bill passed by the Parliament.
