GST to be tabled in Rajya Sabha next week, will the ship sail? Briefcase 1 GST is likely to tabled in the Rajya Sabha next week. With the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill expected to be tabled tomorrow, the BJP has issued a three-line whip to all its Rajya Sabha MPs, asking them to be present in Parliament for the next three days. The Congress, which has stalled the passage of the GST so far, described the government exercise as "constructive and positive". Though the numbers in Rajya Sabha for the BJP are more favourable than they were earlier, the GST is a Constitution amendment bill and requires the nod of at least 163 MPs in the 245-member Upper House.
