Digital Goa, Aug 27- Goa government has requested Centre to release pending Rs 1000 crores GST compensation to the state in order to save Goa from debt trap. Speaking to media, minister Mauvin Godinho, who participated in the GST Council meeting chaired by Finance Minister(FM) Nirmala Sitaraman, said that he urged the FM to release compensation to smaller states like Goa as the bigger states’ requirement is huge. “I will pursue the matter with FM in the next meeting scheduled on Sept 19”, he said. GST Council has given to options to states on the GST compensation reimbursement as the GST collection this year has been marginal and Centre is facing fund crunch to compensate the state, he added.
