Bills for ease of business, amend GST law tabled in Lok Sabha
New Delhi, Dec 22 (IANS) A bill to simplify procedures for ease of doing business and amend a bill related to Goods and Services Tax were introduced in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley introduced The Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Amendment Bill, 2017, while Minister of State for Law P.P. Chaudhary introduced The Specific Relief (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which seeks to amend the 1963 law to simplify procedures for ease of doing business.
A five-member expert committee had been set up by the government last year to review the Specific Relief Act and suggest changes to remove bottlenecks in execution of contract-based infrastructure development, public private partnerships and other public projects.
The bill seeks to provide for substituted performance of contracts, where a contract is broken, so that the party who suffers would be entitled to get the contract performed by a third party or by his own agency and recover expenses and costs, including compensation, from the party who failed to perform their part of the contract.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
