Bengaluru: Union power minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday said that Jammu and Kashmir would roll out goods and services tax (GST) in the next few days. “Jammu and Kashmir is the only state which failed to meet the 30 June deadline for the GST rollout. The new indirect tax regime will be implemented there in the next few days,” he told PTI on the sidelines of a GST-related event in Bengaluru. J&K finance minister Haseeb Drabu had on Saturday stated in New Delhi that the state is likely to clear the legislation on the indirect tax regime by 6 July. Goyal said Debroy may have his opinion, but that did not mean that the whole country should have the same opinion.
