Digvijaya urges Jaitley to reconsider GST Bill’s clauses

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday wrote a letter to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to reconsider and amend Clauses 37, 38, 39 and 44 of Chapter IX of ‘The Central Goods and Service Tax Bill’ so that the registered person has to submit only quarterly return.

“First sales return on 10th of every month declaring sales made in the period, along with details to whom made. Second purchase return on 15th of every month. Third consolidated return on 20th of every month. On top of these, every registered person would have to file an annual return under Clause 44. When I raised this issue after your reply in Rajya Sabha you told the House that Tax payer has to submit his returns only quarterly,” the letter read.

Singh in the letter said that instead of reducing the number of returns, Jaitley have now increased it by nine tires.
