Moreover, there are other funding agencies like World Bank etc. So finance is not any issue for the right projects.<br/><br/>On implementation of the Goods and Service Taxes, he hoped that the Bill would get the approval of all parties in the Parliament during the winter session, so that it could be implemented in the country by 2016. <br/><br/>"The North Eastern States as destination consumption States would be the biggest beneficiary of the GST as most are not manufacturing States", he said adding, the tax revenue would also go up as many new categories would fall under the tax net.
