The method of taking centre cess and therefore the state’s debt payment complicated
The Chief Minister said within the letter, as per the constitutional provisions it’s the responsibility of the Central Government to offer the quantity of GST compensation. By taking a loan, its burden will fall on the state. In such a situation, if the centre also pays the quantity, there’ll be uncertainty. Said, Central government will receive cess for GST compensation, and repaying the loan to the state is going to be a sophisticated and unsure process.

The Center should arrange the quantity for payment of GST
CM Bhupesh Baghel has said that it’s not right to require loans of the states to catch up on GST. For this, the central government should arrange the specified amount through its own resources or debt. The Chief Minister said that it’s my opinion. The minister of finance should seriously consider this suggestion. Also, appropriate action should be taken on this.
