Further, the minister also revealed that Rs. 2,600 crore is yet to be deposited by the Centre in Rajasthan’s tax kitty as compensation to the state along with Central Sales Tax (CST) of Rs. 4,100 crore which is due. If the Centre releases such compensations to the state, the government will be able to invest in the interest of the public. Following the conclusion of the 37th GST Council Meeting The 37th GST council meeting has been conducted in Goa.
