Kerala state finance minister K M Mani has been appointed as the chairman of the empowered committee of state finance minis ters on Goods and Services Tax (GST).
The chairman of the empowered committee has generally been from an opposition-ruled state. Mani fits the bill as he represents Kerala Congress (M) and is also a senior finance minister. The GST, an indirect tax regime, is to be rolled out from April 2016. The empowered committee chairman's post fell vacant after Abdul Rahim Rather, the former finance minister of Jammu & Kashmir, quit following the defeat of National Conference in state elections.
