Who has the power to make the law with respect to goods and service tax provided under Art, 246-A when the provision of Article 356 is in operation in a State ?
Parliament
Article 246-A, inserted by the 101st Amendment, 2016, gives both Parliament and State Legislatures power to make laws on goods and services tax, with Parliament having exclusive power over inter-State supply.
When a proclamation under Article 356 is in force, Article 356(1)(b) declares that the powers of the State Legislature shall be exercisable by or under the authority of Parliament. Under Article 357, Parliament may itself legislate or delegate this power to the President.
Thus the power to make the State GST law during President's Rule lies with Parliament; the Governor and the suspended State Legislature cannot exercise it, and the President acts only under the authority conferred by Parliament.
Hence, the answer is Parliament.
