“The states have suggested certain changes relating to returns procedures in model GST law. Also, they have asked for changes in wordings in compensation law. We will finalise the three draft laws at the November 25 meeting,” a source said.
The source, however, added that Centre is on track to introduce the legislations in the ongoing Winter session of Parliament, which ends on December 16.
The officers committee would not discuss the issue of cross empowerment to avoid dual control as it would be decided at the ministerial level.
Centre had on November 16 circulated the draft legislation among the states. The officers committee in their meeting on November 21-22 discussed the issue, with states giving their views.
The Central GST (CGST) will be framed based on the model GST law. The IGST law would deal with inter-state movement of goods and services.
