N K Singh calls for major changes in GST structure

The 15th Finance Commission Chairman N K Singh has called for major changes in the GST structure, including reducing the complicated procedures and also doing away with frequent rate changes, to improve collection. He also pitched for rationalization of Centrally- sponsored



schemes. 

Speaking at an event in RBI headquarters in Mumbai yesterday, Singh said the commission has visited nearly all the states in the run-up to the preparation of its report and that many of them have complained that the fiscal autonomy has been circumscribed by GST.
