Indian benchmark indices decline on Monday, Jaitley places GST Bill in Parliament
Weak global cues and poor performance by some index heavyweights were largely responsible for the decline, according to reports.
Some of the key stocks that gained on Monday were SBI, Bank of Baroda, HDFC, Dr Reddy's Labs, BHEL and ITC while Tata Steel, Idea Cellular, Reliance, Asian Paints, Coal India and Wipro declined.
The Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley placed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill 2017 in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The four bills that were placed were Central GST Bill, the Integrated GST Bill, the Union Territory GST Bill, and the GST (Compensation to States) Bill.
