: The current Goods and Services Tax model implemented by the NDA government was the 'most complex' in the world and has to be further simplified, Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal has said.

Manpreet said though he was not against the GST, it was "poorly designed" and needed massive fixing.

"There are 161 countries where GST has become law. But the way India designed its GST, I would actually give it 2 out of 10.

I am part of the GST Council and ever since the rates were discussed, my own feeling is the model which India is following is actually the most complex in the world," Manpreet told PTI here Wednesday.

According to him, GST has actually been 'messed up.'
