The interactive session was organised by the Byatarayanapura and Hebbal mandals of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Sri Ramana Maharshi Heritage Auditorium in Sanjay Nagar.

Addressing the gathering, Goyal said, “GST is a transformative move which will benefit the poor, farmers and the middle-class the most. The credit goes not only to the prime minister but also to the different political parties for supporting it. This is an excellent example of cooperative federalism.”

Goyal and the commissioner for Central GST, Vivek Prakash then answered questions raised by the audience.

A member of the audience asked if a digital advertising company with turnover less than Rs 20 lakh sales would be exempted from GST. Goyal confirmed that it would be, as the exemption is applicable to service providers. He further added that any company which tried to falsely show turnover below the bracket would be caught.

“In GST, there is a reverse charge mechanism. Those who availed of the services will have to pay GST and through that we can know if the service provider is trying to evade tax,” he said.

When asked why petrol and diesel were not included in GST, Goyal said that states could not reach a consensus on this matter and it could be included in the future.

Answering a question on why there were tax rates higher than 28% in some cases, the commissioner said, “In some cases, the tax rate is more than 28% because of cess. This has been included to compensate states if they have a revenue-shortfall due to GST. But this is not a permanent feature and it will be removed later on.”

Bengaluru, Jul 8: In a setback to the State government, the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday stayed the initial ban and the subsequent restrictions imposed on schools against conducting online classes from pre-primary to Class X.

Prima facie the ban and embargo imposed on online education violate Articles 21 and 21A of the Constitutionon the fundamental right to education, the Court said.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Nataraj Rangaswamy passed the interim order staying the operation of Government Orders issued on June 15 and June 27 respectively.

The Bench passed the interim order on the petitions filed by parents of children and several educational institutions questioning the legality of the ban and the restrictions imposed.

However, the Bench made it clear that this order should not be construed that the schools have right to make online education compulsory and can charge fee for offering online education. Also, the schools should not deprive students, who cannot opt for online education, the lost education when the schools reopen on regular basis.
