FIPB comes to an end to facilitate ease of business

The Union cabinet has okayed the abolition of 25-year-old Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), whose purpose was to vet Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) proposals in India, as most of the FDI money now comes via automatic routes. Jaitley had first suggested the scrapping of this inter-ministerial body during his budget speech for the 2017-18 session. Here's all you need to know about it.

FIPB

GST
GST will not be postponed

FinMin Jaitley said that July 1 will be the date, when GST will be rolled out and there will be no more delays of any sort. "GST, that was earlier considered a mere slogan and tough to implement, is an idea that has been around for 10-15 years since the Vajpayee government. But (we have managed) to build a consensus with all the states..."
