Thus, this bill has got the approval of both the houses. It is being described as a historical event. Economists say that since 1947, this is a step of India's economic reform. The third meeting of the GST Council was held on 19/10/2016 . In this, it was considered to determine the rate for GST. It was attended by Finance Minister of the Central Government and representatives of various states. No final decision on GST rate could be reached in the meeting.
