Maharashtra CM thanks parties for ratifying GST bill

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today thanked all political parties for ratifying the GST bill during a day-long special session of the state legislature held here.
Both Houses of the legislature unanimously passed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Constitutional Amendment Bill, approved by Parliament earlier this month, after a debate.
With this, Maharashtra, an economic powerhouse which leads in industrial development, has joined nearly a dozen states which have already completed this exercise.
"It is a historic day in Maharashtra's legislature as both Houses unanimously ratified the GST Bill in a special session.
"I'm thankful to all parties for supporting GST Bill in both Houses and I'm glad as we all united today for nation's growth and development," Fadnavis said.

"Investors will now be able to experience a predictable tax regime and so GST Bill will be of great help to a progressive State like ours," he tweeted.
"One Nation. One Market. One Tax. Biggest ever economic reform in India!," Fadnavis said.
