State governments pressed for immediate resolution of pending Integrated Goods & Services Tax (IGST) arrears besides asking the Centre to go for expansionary fiscal policy at the pre-Budget consultation chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
The meeting, held on Wednesday, was attended by the Chief Ministers of Goa, Haryana, and Puducherry, Deputy Chief Ministers of Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Tripura as well as 17 State finance ministers/ministers and senior officials from the Centre and States.
Sitharaman spoke about the Centre’s philosophy of “Cooperative Federalism” and the steps taken to bolster growth. States suggested measures to strengthen cooperation between States and Centre to attain a $5-trillion economy. The Finance Minister assured the States that the memorandums submitted by them will be examined and considered.
