Cess imposed by State Government

[KARAN VERMA]

Sir, there is one cess called Punjab state cancer and drug addiction @ 10 paise per quintal on crushing of sugarcane.

Whether such cess automatically abolishe after GST or still sugar mill required to pay.

[KASTURI SETHI]

This cess has not been abolished. This cess is not mentioned in the list of Cesses abolished. Not automatically abolished.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

I agree with Sri Kasturi Sir's view.
