Article 269A of the Constitution deals with Goods and Services tax on supplies in the course of inter-State trade or commerce. It clearly states that GST on inter-state supplies shall be levied and collected by the Government of India, but the tax *shall be apportioned* between the Union and the States in the manner provided by Parliament by law on the recommendations of the Goods and Services Tax Council. Statements A and B are correct as per Article 269A. Statement D is also correct; under the IGST Act, goods imported into India are deemed to be inter-state supplies and are subject to IGST.
