"GST will make India a formal, easier & simpler, a more revenue generating economy & 1 tax, 1 country economy. Will give a push 2 #MakeinIndia," Kant said in tweet.
"GST -- with a simplified compliance model & free flow of goods & services, Indian Startup & E-commerce scene will get a big impetus," he added.
