"So far we are ahead of the time schedule of GST. The main thing to be done is now call as many meeting of GST Council and sort out all issues, so that we can be ready with the draft of the GST Bill," Adhia told reporters.
"As far as administrative requirements are concerned, we are fully geared. We are monitoring IT preparedness of states, we are on track. We are all geared up for the April 1, 2017 deadline," he added.
The GST Council, which will consist of the Finance Minister and representatives from all states and union territories, will have its first meeting on September 22-23 in the national capital.
Adhia said the state government has the discretion to nominate any one minister to the GST Council.
