New Delhi: The government plans to keep the central good and services tax (GST) concessional rate for goods at 6% in 2011-12, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said in a speech on Wednesday.

The government hopes to introduce a legislation to usher in GST during the Parliament session that begins on Monday, officials have said.
