Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will meet State Finance Ministers in the Capital on Wednesday.

Indications are that the meeting will see discussions around the state of preparedness

for goods and services tax (GST) roll-out in the country.

India Inc is unhappy about the proposed additional 1 per cent origin-based tax to be imposed as part of the GST architecture.

There is also increased clamour on part of sections of industry to bring both petroleum and real estate within the ambit of the GST framework.
