    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Mar 20 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; In an effort to ensure that GST is implemented from July 1 this year, the Cabinet has reportedly approved four Goods &amp;amp; Services Tax bills.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The four bills are likely to be taken up by Parliament this week, and a separate state GST bill in state assemblies later.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The four supporting legislations -- the Compensation Law, the Central-GST (C-GST), Integrated-GST (I-GST) and Union Territory-GST (UT-GST)-- would be introduced as Money Bill.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The GST Council, comprising central and state finance ministers, has already cleared all five draft laws - the Central GST, Integrated GST, state GST, Union territory GST and rules on compensating states for revenue losses.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While the S-GST has to be passed by each of the state legislative assemblies, the four other laws have to be approved by Parliament.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
