Also, the IT infrastructure for GST by the GST Network is still being tested. It is very likely that States will seek more time for the introduction of GST, said two sources close to the development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">According to official data, barring the southern States, enrolment of businesses under GST continues to lag, with only about 70 per cent of them migrating as of the April 30 deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">Migration of service tax and Central excise assessees to GST was also low at 43.73 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">The issue is likely to be taken up at the GST Council meeting in Srinagar on May 18 and 19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">\u201cUnless we have tested the GSTN how can we say we are ready? Then there are 14 draft GST rules in the public domain, which are yet to be finalised. We also have no clarity on whether new rules will come in or only 14 will be there. July 1 seems to be a very aggressive date for rollout,\u201d Bimal Jain, Chairman, Indirect Taxes Committee, PHDCCI, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is keen on launching GST from July 1 and the Finance Ministry is making every effort to ensure this. The Ministry argues that a July 1 rollout of GST, which has been delayed by seven years, would mean it starts from the beginning of a new quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">\u201cIt could be an accounting headache for firms if GST started from September 1,\u201d pointed out an official.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">However, businesses, too, are getting anxious about the final rules and fitment of commodities. \u201cTalks have only been taking place about goods; what about services? Here again there is no clarity,\u201d Jain added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">\u201cIt will be a race to the finish. If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microvistatech.com\/gst-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GST<\/a> Council finalises the rates and rules in the May meeting, companies will still need some time to tune their systems. With the planned anti-profiteering authority, everyone wants to be very careful,\u201d noted an industry representative, who did not wish to be named.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">A committee of officers under the GST Council is finalising the exact rate on goods and services under GST in the 4-tier structure. \u201cIt would be good if the Council favourably considers the industry demand for a Sept 1 rollout. &#8230;several critical issues need to be clarified and product wise rates have not been released as well,\u201d said Pratik Jain, Partner and Leader (Indirect Tax), PwC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">Sources said that another cause of concern in some quarters is the passage of the State GST Bills. Only five States have passed the SGST Bill, although the Finance Ministry expects all States to enact it by May<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" align=\"justify\">31.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/economy\/govt-under-pressure-to-push-gst-rollout-to-september-1\/article9674799.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/economy\/govt-under-pressure-to-push-gst-rollout-to-september-1\/article9674799.ece<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"body _hoverrDone\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, APRIL 30:Faced with multiple implementation challenges as they race to roll out the Goods and Services tax (GST) from July 1, a number of States as well as businesses want the new levy to be introduced from September 1.
