Ok, we have so much stuff to share with you from this 2017 From GST rollout to high-profile corporate exits, the Year 2017 has been a roller-coaster ride as far as companies or government policies are concerned.

FINANCE MINISTER ARUN JAITLEY

First, on this list, we will talk about finance minister Arun Jaitley, who helms the wand, in transforming India into a ‘One Nation, One Tax’ management.

After a so long wait, India finally fulfilled the Goods and Service tax from July 1, to remove tax boundaries between states, creating a single market. The roll-out replaced a plethora of cascading central, state, interstate and local taxes with a single, nationwide, value-added tax on goods and services.

The GST is governed by a GST Council which is managed by its Chairman Arun Jaitley. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at the following rates -- 0 per cent, 5 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent and 28 per cent, respectively. After several complaints, the Council in its recently-concluded meet revised GST rates on 212 items, putting them under the bracket of 18 per cent.

The October GST revenue collection stands at Rs. 95,131 crores.

FORMER RESERVE BANK OF INDIA GOVERNOR RAGHURAM RAJAN:

“There is a danger in keeping the position ill-defined because the constant effort of the bureaucracy is to whittle down its power.
