Various decisions have been taken by the Goods and Services Tax Council constituted by the President of India under article 279A of the Constitution of India requiring amendments in GST Laws. Accordingly, the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 have been amended by the Parliament by Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019 (23 of 2019). In order to maintain the uniformity in the provisions of the law relating to Goods and Services Tax, the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 is also amended by the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Mah. XXXI of 2019). Sub-section (2) of section 1 of the said Amendment Act provides that, it shall come into force with effect from the 1st January 2020.
2. However, by the Central Government Notification, Ministry of Finance, No. 01/2020- Central Tax, G.S.R.2(E), dated the 1st January 2020, issued under the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019 (23 of 2019), sections 92 to 112, except section 92, section 97, section 100 and sections 103 to 110 of the said Act has been brought into force by the Central Government with effect from the 1st January 2020 and the remaining sections will come into force by notification in the Official Gazette. In order to maintain the uniformity in the application of the said amending provisions of the Central and State Acts relating to Goods and Services Tax, it is necessary to bring into force the similar amended sections of the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Act, 2019, on the same date. It is, therefore, expedient to amend the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Act, 2019, suitably.
3. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action to amend the Maharashtra Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Mah. XXXI of 2019), for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
