The correct answer is: A. Vijay Kelkar
Vijay Kelkar was the chairman of the Kelkar Task Force on indirect taxes, which was set up in 2000 to recommend a roadmap for the introduction of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. The Kelkar Task Force submitted its report in 2002, and its recommendations formed the basis of the GST legislation that was eventually enacted in 2017.
Asim Das Gupta was the chairman of the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers, which was set up in 2009 to oversee the implementation of the GST. The Empowered Committee submitted its final report in 2014, and its recommendations were incorporated into the GST legislation.
Dr. Chidambaram was the Finance Minister of India from 2004 to 2008. He was responsible for introducing the GST Bill in Parliament in 2006. However, the Bill was not passed due to opposition from some states.
None of the above is not the correct answer because Vijay Kelkar was the chairman of the Kelkar Task Force on indirect taxes, which was set up in 2000 to recommend a roadmap for the introduction of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. The Kelkar Task Force submitted its report in 2002, and its recommendations formed the basis of the GST legislation that was eventually enacted in 2017.
