Bihar is likely to be the second state to pass the GST (Goods and Services Tax) Constitution Amendment Bill, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar calling Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and offering to have the Bill passed on August 16.
Although the Bihar Assembly session ended on August 4, this will be a special session, signifying how keen Bihar is to pass the Bill which the state bureaucracy reckons will net it Rs 8,000 crore as additional revenue annually.
