Extension of notification period postpones expiry of specified State GST rate provision to a later date, effective retrospectively. Amendment substitutes the previously prescribed expiry date in the Jharkhand State Tax (Rate) notification No.8/2017 by replacing the earlier specified date with a new later date, thereby extending the period of applicability of the relevant rate provision. The amendment is declared to have retrospective effect from 6th August, 2018 and is issued by the State Government on the recommendations of the Council under the Jharkhand Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
