Modi’s remarks, at an event here, come at a time GST collections have not been robust. Rahul Gandhi, the president of the Congress, had, in May, said if his party came to power, there would be only one slab of the GST and that the party was against the 28 per cent slab. The Telegraph“Today, the GST system has been established to a large extent and we are working towards a position where 99 per cent items will attract the sub-18 per cent GST slab,” he said. He indicated that the 28 per cent slab of GST would only be restricted to a few luxury goods. Meanwhile, analysts are concerned about the implications for the GST collections.
