Talk:One Hundred and First Amendment to the Constitution of India

Article name
Should this article be renamed to Goods and Services Tax Bill (India) ? RJFJR (talk) 01:55, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I think Goods and Services Tax (India) would be better. The tax itself should be the subject of the article. The Bill is merely a parliamentary vehicle attempting to get the tax into law. If the Bill fails then it is likely that a reworked Bill would be submitted to the Lok Sabha at a later date. It would make little sense to have separate articles on WP for each Bill when a single article on the tax itself could summarize them. Guffydrawers (talk) 11:57, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. But then we need to reword the intro of the article. RJFJR (talk) 03:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

I think the current name is appropriate for this subject and the name of the bill itself is GST as per CBEC Karan —Preceding undated comment added 18:04, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Goods and Services Tax Bill → 101st Indian Constitutional Amendment – GST law is different and has not yet been presented in the parliament -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  07:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. — Andy W.

 * Relisting comment Corrected "101th" to "101st". Allow another week for feedback. — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 05:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * 2nd relisting comment: This move rationale and the subsequent discussion seem to largely miss the point. The common name for this topic is unlikely to change as rapidly as the official name does, that's one of the reasons (only one) that we use common names rather than official ones. So, what is the common name for the topic of the article as it stands? Or, if the scope of the article is to change, then discuss on the talk page first and raise an RM based on consensus there. Andrewa (talk) 15:50, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed it went off-topic. I would be all right if this was closed as moot or something, and I don't see too much of a common name discussion below. Also struck my own comment - I don't know anything about the subject — Andy W. ( talk ) 23:50, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * General comment Is this page a different situation than Road Transport and Safety Bill or CAMPA bill? — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 05:25, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the current name is not good because it is now an act of Parliament. Either the official name, The Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act 2016, or the common name, Goods and Services Tax Act 2016 (or whatever else the common name is), should be used, preferably the latter, which is more descriptive. --Joshua Issac (talk) 23:09, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Would support Goods and Services Tax Act 2016 per WP:CONCISE over the other suggestion — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 23:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * GST law is different from this bill. This talks about the constitutional amendment which has given the power to government to bring GST Law. GST law will be tabled in parliament in winter session next month. Further this amendment has already been passed by both houses, ratified by enough states and assented tk by the President, and hence is now in force and no more a bill. So in that sense as well the title is incorrect. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  02:34, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
