If issued later what will be the effect whether prospective or retrospective...???

Since no notification received from sales tax department, existing notification for charging CST @ 3% will be effective even after 1st april 2008.

Yes, we have to wait for Notification.
Another info suggest that it may get issued very soon and may be made feective from 1st May 2008.
Since the FM fas already announced in Budget for 2008-09, the reduction of CST rate with effect from 1.4.2008 from 3% to 2% and this Budget have already been approved by the parliament , we should charged CST @ 2%. There is no need of issuing notification when the Budget has been paased by the Parliament and duly been approved by Hon'ble President of India.

Dear All,
On 8th April-08 meeting completed with Empowered committe of State Finance Minister & With Mr.Dasgupta he is a head of Vat. After completion of meeting Hindu news reporters asked Mr.Dasgupta whether the cst would be cut with retrospective effect from Apr- 1,Mr.Dasgupta said tax matters were not issually implemented with retrospective effect and Apr-1 has gone.We will do it as soon as possible he said.
Hence there is no retrospective effect.
The same news is published in Hindu on 09.04.08 and meeting date is 08.04.08
