Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met BJP MPs from several states, including from Haryana, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, and emphasised the need to ensure the continuance of the "benefit chain" under the Goods and Services Tax.
The prime minister also asked small businesses and traders to register under the recently rolled out GST, as the Members of Parliament maintained that there was a lot of enthusiasm among small commercial ventures regarding the new law.
"GST has been accepted and overwhelmingly supported across the country. Small traders should also register themselves with this new tax law. It should be ensured that the benefit chain of GST be continued," an official statement quoted PM Modi as saying.
Besides Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and Haryana, MPs from Punjab, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh as well as the party MP from Chandigarh were present during the meeting with the prime minister.
PM Modi asked them to ensure that senior citizens get maximum benefits under various welfare schemes, including a new pension scheme, 'Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY)', under which they will get 8 per cent interest on their deposits.
