The states will now internally deliberate on the revised drafts, which were finalised in a meeting of the Council`s Law Sub-Committee, comprising central and state officials, on Friday in Delhi.
The Central GST (CGST) will be framed based on the Model GST Law. The states will draft their State GST (SGST) based on the CGST with minor variations.
Four draft bills -- Central GST, State GST, Integrated GST and State Compensation Law for revenue losses -- will have to be passed by Parliament and state assemblies after the Council`s approval.
The government is targeting April 1, 2017, as the implementation date for the new indirect tax system.
