I leave it to you to answer the question, who blocked the GST when an agreement on the game-changing tax reform was around the corner?
The initiation of enactment of the DTC Bill was, if one remembers right,lately announced to be slated to be made on 22nd August (?). For what one knows, there has been no news on any related development so far.
