NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Finance Minister Arun Jaitley sounded confident on Wednesday about rolling out the proposed goods and services tax from next April even after a meeting between him and state finance ministers failed to break a deadlock on rates.

The three-day meet in New Delhi between union and state finance officials to set the bands for the new sales tax and pave the way for its introduction will conclude on Thursday.

Jaitley said the officials would meet again in early November to finalise the tax rates.
