New Delhi: The two-day meeting of the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers will start from today in Kerala and will be a crucial one as the Lok Sabha gave its nod to a pan-India GST regime.

The first meeting will be convened after Kerala finance minister K M Mani took over as the chairman of the panel.

15 state finance ministers and 30 senior officials from the states will take part in the two-day meeting, according to various media reports.

“Most of the states have welcomed GST ... Only very few states are (opposing). Even they are also agreeing gradually. I think there is no obstinate opposition from any state,” Mani said earlier.
