GST COUNCIL:
GST COUNCIL:
GST council will be one of the strongest decision making body for GST .
It has to decide GST rates, GST on petro-products, Exemption List, the problem of Dual Jurisdiction etc.
See the composition of GST council. It has 33 1/3%(1/3rd.) Votes from centre and 66 2/3% votes from States.
For a single decision the requirement of Votes is 75%.
Now see if all the states pooled their votes together they can not make 75% hence practically centre has the Veto power.
Now see the centres power it has 33% votes and in any case the ruling front generally have state Govts of their own in more than 50% States so in that case centre with the help of it's own state Govts can take a decision because in that case it needs 42% votes from the states.
So in GST council centre has a very powerful position .
GST will not only make the Centre economically strong but also give it strong decision power as compared to states.
