Event Summary

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of the 'GST Bachat Utsav' and Next Generation GST reforms in India, effective September 22nd. These reforms simplify the Goods and Services Tax (India) structure, primarily establishing two tax slabs of 5% and 18%, with many daily essentials becoming tax-free or falling into the lowest slab. This initiative, combined with income tax cuts, is projected to save citizens approximately Rs 2.5 lakh crore, reducing household expenses and fostering aspirations like home and vehicle purchases. Narendra Modi emphasized that these changes will benefit farmers, women, youth, the poor, middle class, traders, and MSMEs, encouraging growth and investment across India. He also urged citizens and state governments to support 'Made in India' products and strengthen the nation's manufacturing base to achieve 'Viksit Bharat by 2047' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. The India — GST Council played a role in these pro-people decisions, aiming to further simplify the system and boost the economy.
