However, Thakur said that the bill was framed keeping in view the interests of the poor and the tribals in the state and been introduced only after a thorough review. The House also passed the Jharkhand State Universities (Amendment) Bill 2022. Thakur further said that the legislation will pave way for the appointment of3,064 professors and lecturers in the state. Two more bills - Resolution of Arrears of Jharkhand Taxation Acts Bill 2022 and Jharkhand Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill 2022 were passed by the House. The bills were introduced by Finance Minister Rameshwar Oraon, as per NDTV report.
While responding to the suggestions from lawmakers that the Jharkhand Taxation Acts Bill 2022 should be sent for scrutiny by a select committee, the finance minister said that "with the passage of this bill, the state government will get revenue of INR 500 crore which is outstanding for long."
“At the moment Rs 3,690 crore of the state is stuck as arrears. The department considered the one time settlement and for this purpose this bill has been brought. With the GST compensation by the central government over the state government would benefit immensely from this settlement to meet expenses required for infrastructure work,” Finance Minister said.
