SRINAGAR, JULY 5:   Welcoming the assertion of the Finance Minister, Dr Haseeb Drabu that the State Government would ensure adequate constitutional, economic and administrative safeguards while implementing   GST in J&K, Vice-Chairman Handicrafts and Handloom Development Corporations, Nizamudin Bhat today said that apprehensions regarding erosion of autonomy and legislative powers of the state legislature seem to have been fully allayed by the Finance Minister.
“As has appeared from assurances of Dr Drabu, the implementation of the law will have positive impact in terms of financial gains that can accrue and guarantees for political and financial Autonomy which will be endorsed by the union government,” Bhat said while interacting with various delegations.
Bhat said the issues raised by opposition in relation to constitutional implications of the GST law have fully been debated in various forums and despite divided opinions the explanations from government carried substance.
He said it is an achievement that dignity and authority of J&K Assembly has been respected and BJP clearly expressed respect for state’s autonomous status and concern for its constitutional position as was agreed in the Agenda of Alliance (AoA) with PDP.
Bhat appealed the traders to watch with interest and involvement the ongoing deliberations of the state legislature on GST.
An open and transparent debate should satisfy everyone on government’s sincerity and motives.
He said that sufficient material has been made available to the government for resolving any controversy that was likely to arise.
He said in our desire to feel politically empowered and financially well equipped we are duty bound to facilitate such course.
Bhat hoped that this will happen as everyone is a victim of uncertainty, confusion and instability dogging the state and everyone will feel morally bound not to add to this to further plunge the state in aggravated crisis, which added is avoidable.

Bhat invited the attention of Finance Minister to protections of Handloom and Handicraft sector, required to save these two sectors from any burden or taxation in any circumstances.

‘Under developed states, Common man, small traders to be major beneficiaries’

JAMMU, JULY 01: Union Minister of State for DONER (IC), PMO, DAE, DoS, PPG&P, Dr Jitendra Singh, today termed the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) as most effective economic and tax reform in independent India capable of evolving cooperative federal system in the Country.
Speaking at a function organized to mark the 68th Charted Accountants’ Day here at Zorawar Singh Auditorium, the Union Minister said the implementation of the new regime involved massive exercise which also manifested a unique work culture and determination of the government to complete this mammoth task. He said started as an economic reform, it eventually evolved into opening of new chapter in working of the government and pave way for achieving a cooperative federal system.
“This historical feat has been achieved with cooperation and consensus of all stakeholders including representation from all states, who were part of the GST Council. There was total unanimity and not even a single decision of Council required voting of the members for which there was a provision,” he added, while referring to voices of opposition being raised from certain quarters.        
 Dispelling the apprehensions being raised from different quarters, he said under developed states, common man and small traders are going to be the main beneficiaries of this historical reform.
He also defined GST as a path breaking move towards decentralization of financial power adding that government was not averse to invite suggestions even at this moment. “When question was raised about keeping fertilizers under 12 percent tax category, government reversed its decision at the eleventh hour and brought it under 5 percent category” Dr Singh said adding “Even now government will invite suggestions with an open mind.
 Dr Jitendra also expressed optimism that the GST regime would be extended to state of Jammu and Kashmir soon. “We can’t live in isolation in this age of globalization so I hope GST will also roll out in J&K state soon” he added.
Listing various benefits of the new tax regime, he said to put it in simple words it has simplified the complex and multilevel tax system prevailing in the country. However, he said during the transition phase people may find it difficult to acquaint themselves with the system. To overcome this problem fifty thousand officials have been put on job to aware all stakeholders by holding awareness camps, interaction sessions  and using all other means, he added.
 The function was organized by the J&K branch of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and attended by CA fraternity and senior officials of the Government.    
On the occasion, live address of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to CA fraternity at New Delhi was also displayed to the audience.

‘Parties in accord on extension of new tax regime to JK, seek safeguards’

SRINAGAR, JUNE 29: The second meeting of the All Party Consultative Group constituted by the Government to evolve consensus over GST implementation in J&K was convened here this evening under the chairmanship of former Deputy Chief Minister and Member Parliament, Muzaffar Hussain Beigh.
The members of the Consultative Group including former finance minister and NC leader Abdul Rahim Rather, CPI (M) state secretary MY Tarigami, Congress leader Aijaz Ahmad Khan, Hakim Mohammad Yasin of PDF, Nizam-ud-Din Bhat of PDP, Advocate Sunil Sethi of BJP, Ghulam Hassan Mir of DPN and independent legislators, Er Rashid and Pawan Gupta attended the meeting.
Chairman of the group, Mr Beigh, complimented the State Government to have initiated a debate on the issue with all shades of the political opinion to evolve broad-based consensus before Jammu and Kashmir is brought under the Goods and Service Tax regime. 
"If we talk of bringing a separate law, the Centre will have to amend two chapters in the Constitution to delegate powers of taxation to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It will become a huge political issue across the country. Besides, it will also entail amending Section 5 of J&K Constitution which can't be done. More so, any attempt on fiddling with Section 5 will open a pandora box which will have huge political ramifications for J&K in future," he said.
Minister for Law and Justice Abdul Haq, Chief Secretary BB Vyas, Commissioner Secretary Finance Navin K Chaudhary, Commissioner Commercial Taxes, Parvaiz Iqbal Khatib and other officers of the Finance and Law Departments were present in the meeting.
The meeting held threadbare discussions over the legal, legislative, financial, economic and administrative aspects of the GST regime with the Chairman explaining in detail the nuances of the new tax regime.
Presenting the government's view, the Finance Minister Dr Haseeb A Drabu said the government will ensure adequate safeguards for protecting the special constitutional position of Jammu and Kashmir as enshrined in Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
"The way ahead to harmonize GST in the state could be by extension of only such limbs of the Constitutional Amendment 101 to the state which are already applicable to Jammu and Kashmir in one form or another with some other provisions of technical nature required for harmonization of our taxation structure with the new tax regime," Dr Drabu said.
Regarding GST, Dr Drabu said it would be an integrated tax regime which would replace 16 taxes currently being levied by the Centre and the State Government. The taxes to be integrated under GST include Central Excise Duty, Duties of Excise, Additional Duties of Excise, Additional Duties of Customs, Special Additional Duties of Customs, Service Tax, State VAT, Central Sales Tax, Luxury Tax, Entry Tax in lieu Octroi, Entertainment Tax, Taxes of Advertisement, Purchase Tax, Taxes on Lotteries, Betting and Gambling and State Cess.
The Finance Minister said the existing tax incentives under the Industrial Policy will be continued and the cross-LoC trade can be maintained in the current form. "In case the GST is not extended to the state, the businesses will be crippled as no trader from Jammu and Kashmir will be able to do business with their counterparts from other parts of the country," Dr Drabu said and added that the consumer in J&K will be the worst hit due to double taxation. 
Dr Drabu said in the absence of an alternative trading link, J&K is literally integrated with mainland Indian market. Entire requirements are imported from it and everything produced or manufactured in J&K is exported to the same market. “Twin taxation systems dissociated from each other will entail costs to business and to public finance system. Trading processes will be subjected to twin taxation systems making everything costly in J&K, a cost that ultimately the consumer shall have to bear,” he said and added that traders will have to pay more for managing twin systems and it could create a situation that J&K may not get buyers or sellers for its products.
Former Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather, who is the former chairman of the Empowered Committee of Finance Minister on GST, said the National Conference is not against the implementation of the GST in the state in principle but the party wants adequate safeguards to protect the fiscal autonomy of the state.
Congress's Aijaz Ahmad Khan said his party has piloted the evolution of Goods and Service Tax regime across the country. "Our party has laid the foundation of GST. We are in favour of it but we are concerned about how it is implemented in J&K. The law must be introduced in an applicable form in the state," he said.
Seconding Mr Baig's viewpoint, Tarigami said consultations are beneficial for evolving a consensus but stressed that Article 370 should not be belittled. "We have to take people along to preserve the relationship between India and J&K. I congratulate the government for debating the issue with us," he said.
There was a general consensus in the meeting that non-implementation of GST regime would trigger economic and financial chaos in the State with the inter-state trade vis-a-vis J&K taking a big hit.
The All Party Consultative Group had earlier met here on 24 June to discuss the issue.

‘Non-implementation of new tax regime would lead to financial chaos in JK with trade coming to a grinding halt; Exemptions to continue for industry’ 

SRINAGAR, JUNE 28: Minister of Finance, Dr Haseeb A Drabu today said the government will factor in constitutional, legislative, administrative and institutional issues distinct to J&K while implementing GST in the State.

“Apart from safeguarding the special constitutional position of Jammu and Kashmir, we will also factor in administrative, legislative and other safeguards under the new tax regime,” Dr Drabu said in an interaction with the media-persons here today.

Commissioner Secretary Finance, Mr Navin Kumar Choudhary and Director Information, Mr Muneer-ul-Islam was also present during the interaction.

During his 90-minute marathon deliberations regarding GST with media-persons at the Media Complex here, Dr Drabu said the Government has been discussing the new tax regime at various levels to build broader consensus before bringing Jammu and Kashmir under the ambit of GST regime. He explained in detail the benefits of the new tax regime for which all the states except Jammu Kashmir have given nod and would be applied from July 1. He said the biggest beneficiaries of this tax regime would be the consumer, and the consumer states will be benefitted the most, instead of manufacturing states getting the cream under Sales Tax and VAT regimes.

Drabu termed apprehensions regarding GST as false. He said a false perception is being created among people regarding the new tax regime. “There is no such thing of compromise on existing position. It is written in Agenda of Alliance as well that there would be no compromise in exiting constitutional position,” he said.

"Our intentions are clear. Unfortunately a completely wrong perception has been created by vested interests among the people about GST. Let me make it amply clear that we will ensure adequate safeguards for the State’s fiscal autonomy while implementing GST," Dr Drabu said.

The Finance Minister said Jammu and Kashmir has the most empowered legislative assembly which has residuary powers. "The harmonization that has happened in the GST Council over the years made me comfortable with the evolving system, despite my initial opposition to it," he said and added that, as he has maintained earlier also, GST Council is the symbol of real federal structure in the country where the powers to decide on taxes have been vested with the State Governments.

“When I today support it (GST), I support it because it has enough flexibility. For instance the biggest flexibility is the first time constitution amendment to the Indian constitution specifically mentions that this is not applicable to J&K, that itself shows the respect shown by the Parliament of India and Government of India for the special position of J&K,” he said.

Dr Drabu said J&K is going through tough times over the last three decades and it is for the first time that a Constitutional Amendment will be discussed at various levels to remove any misconceptions. He said ironically 46 such amendments have been extended to the state since 1947 without even being discussed at any level.

"We are going through very difficult times. The situation is fragile and we don't want social chaos which ultimately impacts our economy. Under the new tax regime, our powers to levy tax remain unchanged," he said.

The Finance Minister said the Government has already convened two All Party Meetings on the issue and the third such meeting is being convened here tomorrow where threadbare discussions will be held and everyone will be taken on board.   

"The GST changes the way one functioning in terms of compliance and collection of taxes. It is a major policy shift that will empower the consumer and there will be some hiccups for three to four months. But it will stabilize the system ultimately, making it more efficient and people-friendly," Dr Drabu said.

"The aim of the GST is that the businesses must grow and become clean and superior. Due to new tax regime, stunted business will get an impetus. If the law is not extended to the state, no trader will be able to get goods from outside because they don't have GST number and neither can we export," he said and added non-implementation of GST would lead to complete chaos with traders and businessmen being hit the worst and ultimately it would lead to acute scarcity of consumer goods in the State.

He said in absence of an alternative trading links, J&K is literally integrated with mainland Indian market. Entire requirements are imported from various parts of the country and everything produced or manufactured in J&K is exported to the same market. “Twin taxation systems dissociated from each other will entail huge costs to business and to public finance system,” he said and added that trading processes will be subjected to twin taxation systems making everything costly in J&K, a cost that ultimately the consumer shall have to bear. He said traders will have to pay more for managing twin systems and it could create a situation that J&K may not get buyers or sellers. The Input Tax Credit (ITC) that shall otherwise become available to the end consumer will get blocked at Madhavpur, the first town outside J&K.

Allaying the fears of traders, the Finance Minister said the incentives offered by the State and Central Government on various industries in Jammu and Kashmir will continue. "The State as well as the Central Government will continue to provide exemptions, factoring in all the incentives," he said.

          SRINAGAR, JUNE 24: Strongly refuting the news item published in a section of press where some fabricated quotes have been attributed to him regarding GST implementation in the State, the Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh today clarified that he has been grossly misquoted and his remarks have been presented in a completely distorted manner.

          In a statement, Dr Singh said  that the Government  has already  constituted  an All Party Committee to  explore  the ways and means for  implementing  the new tax regime in the state without  harming  the  interests of people and  the special  status  of Jammu and Kashmir. "Why only one newspaper has reported my remarks in such a distorted manner when several journalists were present at the said event," he said and added that it would have been reported by the other sections of the media the same way if I had made any such remarks.

He said the Government would follow the proper process in implementation of GST regime so that the interests of the state, the consumers and the traders are protected appropriately. He said the coalition Government is functioning smoothly and implementing developmental  initiatives and other issues as per the Agenda of Alliance. “There is no threat to the coalition government as such and it will complete its full term,” he said.

Elaborating further on the implementation of GST in the State, the Dy Chief Minister said that this Central law is quite beneficial for all stakeholders in the State and does not harm any section of the society or Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir. In the absence of this new tax regime which will be rolled out in the entire country from Ist July, the State and people will suffer hugely on account of double taxation, he said.

He said those opposing implementation of GST in Jammu and Kashmir are misleading the common masses for their ulterior political interests. The GST will bring uniformity in the country with one tax and also benefit the common man in the State as many items of daily use will become cheaper, he added.

The meeting held threadbare discussions over the legal, legislative, financial and economic aspects of the GST regime with the Chairman explaining in detail the nuances of the new tax regime.
There was a general consensus in the meeting that non-implementation of GST regime would trigger economic and financial chaos in the State with the inter-state trade vis-a-vis J&K taking a big hit.
The meeting, at the same time, called for allaying the apprehensions and misconceptions that have been passed on to the people for political expediencies.
Speaking at the conclusion of the meeting, Muzaffar Hussain Beigh said that there was unanimity in the forum on either of the three paths to be followed on GST which include taking further time to build wider political consensus, taking the matter to the legislature and allowing the state cabinet to take a call on the issue in light of JK’s special constitutional position.

This is the second attempt by the government to evolve consensus over GST implementation in the state. Earlier, an All Party Meeting chaired by chief minister Mehbooba Mufti was convened on the issue on June 13.

SRINAGAR, JUNE 17 – Reiterating that the constitutional amendment regarding GST does not apply to J&K suo-moto, Minster for Public Works Naeem Akhtar today said that GST is a good tax reform which will be taken up for implementation in J&K only after arriving at consensus through broad-based consultation process.
‘New tax regime will be extended to JK 
with adequate constitutional safeguards’
“Chief Minister Ms Mehbooba Mufti had called an All Party Meeting ahead of the special session of legislature to take the viewpoint of the people’s representatives and seek their suggestions regarding implementation of GST in the State,” Naeem Akhtar told reporters here today.
The Minister said that after multiple apprehensions came forth ahead of the special session of the legislature from trade community, consumers as well as political parties, the government decided to further deliberate on the issue to ensure ample safeguards are put in place to clear the public misgivings.
For this, an All Party Panel has been constituted to take suggestions, viewpoint and inputs from all stakeholders so that interests of the consumers can be protected, the Minister said adding that the “Government will not push for GST implementation in JK till the time there is complete consensus on the issue”.
He further said that inputs are welcome from all stakeholders including so that the government can work towards resolving those concerns besides strengthening the reform so that it becomes a people friendly tax reform and there is a consensus in the State regarding the same.
“Government is willing to introduce GST in the state with ample safeguards as this tax reform will be beneficial for the state economy and traders.
