CST rate reduced by State Govt.
This query is : Open
09 June 2009
Dear Friends,
I want to know whether a State Govt. can reduce the CST Rate in it's state without any consideration from Central Govt.
Actually Himachal State Govt. has reduced the CST 1% (from 2%) in continuation of State Industrial Policy 2004
Benefit of CST 1% under State Industrial Policy 2004
was applicable from 01-04-2004 to 31-03-2013.
But in the year 2007 it was decided to provide the concession only upto 31-03-09.
Now HP Govt. again issued a notification to extend the benefit upto 31-03-2013. But Central Govt. has not given any notification.
Is this possible ?

Can you tell me under which section it is authorised.
As U/S 13, there is nothing like this.
