High Court quashes Telangana GO 123
A division bench of the Hyderabad High Court comprising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan
and Justice U. Durga Prasad Rao on 9th August stayed the operation of judgment of the single judge
who quashed the GO123 which is being used by the Telangana government to buy large chunks of land
in the name of projects.
The bench said the government cannot resort to registration of sale deeds even from willing land
owners till the government submits a GO to satisfy the court that the landless poor get all the benefits
enumerated under second schedule of Act 30 of 2013.
Back ground
GO 123: In order to procure land for public projects, government deems it fit to come out with a
framework that allows the land owners to participate in the development process by willingly selling
their land and properties thereon, for a consideration on the basis of an agreement between land
owners and user department/undertaking/society/authority.
The GO was issued by Telangana government on 30th July.
The State government intends to procure land by this GO 123 for Pranahita project and for setting up
manufacturing investment zone in Zaheerabad etc. The land thus to be procured is estimated to be
around 14,000 acres.
However, later Government issued another GO, 214, which led to controversy. GO 214 issued in
November 2015, under which the process of inviting objections from affected persons is done away
with, this led to a few people approached court.

GST
One Nation One Taxation.
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax (GST). India aimed to introduce GST from 1st April, 2017. The Parliament
had passed the GST bill, and it also got the President nod.
The GST will be a comprehensive nationwide indirect tax on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods
and services throughout India. The aim is to have one indirect tax for the whole nation, which will make
India a unified common market. GST will be levied and collected at each stage of sale or purchase of goods
or services based on the input tax credit method and would make not just manufacturing but also the interstate transportation of goods more efficient
Lok Sabha passed the bill on -6th May, 2015 (this was passed first time)

GST council formed on 12th September
The first meeting of GST council was held on 22nd September

Why GST introduced?
Constitution of India has given powers to centre, state, local governments to levy taxes. It led to imposing
of many indirect taxes, which further made a complex indirect system in India.
ka
ut
The current indirect tax system is plagued with multiplicity of taxes - at different rates - at multiple points.
Further, absence of any setting off mechanism results in cascading effect of these taxes. This is accentuated
by a huge compliance cost that is incurred in respect of each of the taxes. In order to resolve these issue,
GST was introduced
w.
What are Indirect taxes?
ww
Indirect tax is a type of tax where the incidence and impact of taxation does not fall on the same entity. In
the case of indirect tax, the burden of tax can be shifted by the taxpayer to someone else. Indirect tax has
the effect to raising the price of the products on which they are imposed. Customs duty, central excise,
service tax and value added tax are examples of indirect tax
Why Constitutional amendment required for GST?
The Constitution provides for delineation of power to tax between the Centre and States. While the
Centre is empowered to tax services and goods upto the production stage, the States have the power to tax
sale of goods. The States do not have the powers to levy a tax on supply of services while the Centre does
20

not have power to levy tax on the sale of goods. Thus, the Constitution does not vest express power either
in the Central or State Government to levy a tax on the supply of goods and services. Moreover, the
Constitution also does not empower the States to impose tax on imports.
Therefore, it is essential to have Constitutional Amendments for empowering the Centre to levy tax on
sale of goods and States for levy of service tax and tax on imports and other consequential issues.
As part of the exercise on Constitutional Amendment, there would be a special attention to the formulation
of a mechanism for upholding the need for a harmonious structure for GST along with the concern for the
powers of the Centre and the States in a federal structure
GST introduced through 122nd constitutional amendment of India.
How would GST be administered in India?
.co
There will be two components of GST Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). Both Centre and States will
simultaneously levy GST across the value chain. Tax will be levied on every supply of goods and services.
Centre would levy and collect Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), and States would levy and collect the
State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) on all transactions within a State.
ee
Cabinet approves creation of GST Council and its Secretariat
rs
The input tax credit of CGST would be available for discharging the CGST liability on the output at each
stage. Similarly, the credit of SGST paid on inputs would be allowed for paying the SGST on output. No cross
utilization of credit would be permitted.
