Punjab govt slams Centre for delaying GST compensation

News, Punjab

Chandigarh: The Congress-led Punjab government today criticised the Centre for allegedly delaying the release of more than Rs 630 crore in GST compensation to the state, alleging that it has led to fiscal problems.

The state government had to float development bonds of Rs 700 crore to raise money to pay salaries to government employees after the GST compensation was not disbursed by the Centre.
