Pradhan nudges FM to include ATF, natural gas in GST

"It has been two years since the historic tax reform GST was implemented," Pradhan said at India Energy Forum of CERAWeek here. "There has been continuous demand from the petroleum industry for the inclusion of petroleum products under the GST regime. I make a strong appeal to Finance Minister to take this up with the GST Council and at least make a beginning by including natural gas and ATF in the GST."
