After a lot of back and forth, the Rajya Sabha finally passed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill on 3rd of August, 2016. Often followed by the unofficial tagline “one nation, one tax”, GST will subsume all indirect taxes such as excise duties, service tax, entertainment tax etc. Adopting Goods and Service Tax will lead to a seamless market throughout the country, and prices of commodities evening out across states. In case you aren’t well versed with the concept, here is all about GST

Celebrities such as Sachin Tendulkar and Ayushmann Khurrana have also joined the celebrations.
Compliments to all who have come together for #GSTBill. Sound taxation should be welcomed. Look forward to #GST delivering results for India

#GSTBill is a brave revolutionary step. The most significant economic reform since 1992. Woot! Know more about it-- https://t.co/dH8sNdPevp

But not all of them seem to know exactly why they are celebrating. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, for instance, could do with all about GST or the Beginner’s Guide to the GST.
Notwithstanding my limited knowledge of Financial stuff ,the #GSTBill is an awesome advancement for our country’s potential. Congrats to us

the general sentiment seems to be positive. Amidst the celebration, however, people couldn’t help but play politics and pit the BJP, Congress and AAP against one another.
Can we give one third credit to BJP, a third to Cong and a third to regional parties? One India, one cake! #GSTBill

Though it started with a lot of confusion and mixed reactions…
I'm not listening to GST cause everyone has such mixed reactions of it and I'm too scared
