Chhattisgarh’s Singhdeo said that manufacturing and mining states, which are not consumers, suffer revenue loss under GST. In case the GST compensation to states is not continued, the states must have a greater share of the GST revenues, he added.
He pitched for another five year of extension of compensation for states. It is learnt that the state has suffered ₹4127 crore notional loss in 2021-22 on 10 items including iron and steel, coal, paddy, and tendu leaves, since these got subsumed in GST compared to the revenue from these items under the value added tax regime.
