Intro:Body:

Kolkata, Sep 23 (PTI) West Bengal Finance Minister

Amit Mitra on Monday said that the current slowdown in the

economy is due to "structural" changes and not "cyclical".

    He said the structural changes have been ushered in

due to demonetisation and "faulty" GST implementation along

with the collapse of IL&FS which crippled the NBFC sector.

    "The slowdown in the economy is structural and not

cyclical. This structural change has been brought about by

demonetisation, hasty and faulty implementation of GST and the

collapse of the IL&FS," Mitra said at the annual general

meeting of Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry here.

    He said that when the economy was "coming up from the

U-curve, the rising growth rate was hit by demonetisation

which caused GDP growth to fall from 8.15 per cent to 7.17 per

cent".

    "Another massive structural change came from the GST

implementation," he claimed.

    Mitra said that he had spoken to Goods and Services

Tax Network (GSTN) Chairman who told him that the country "was

not ready for its implementation on the scheduled date".

    "But a singular decision in the democracy was taken by

the government and GST was implemented from July 1, 2017", he

said.

    Lastly, the collapse of IL&FS crippled the NBFC sector

which is now facing huge liquidity crunch, he said.

    Regarding the direct tax collection, he said the

government could mop-up only 4.7 percent more so far this

year.

    In order to meet the budgetary target of 17.3 per

cent, the growth in direct tax collection will have to be 27

per cent in the remaining months of this fiscal, Mitra said.

    "Is it possible to meet the target for an economy

which is witnessing slowdown", he asked.

    Regarding GST, he said that collection of the indirect

tax is not meeting its target.

    Talking about West Bengal, he said that the state

cabinet had cleared the proposal of Tata Metaliks' expansion

plan in Kharagpur and the company will invest Rs 600 crore for

this.

    The expansion project will create job opportunities

for 3,500 people, he added.
