These new reforms, which came into effect on Monday, will further accelerate India's growth and put the country on the path to becoming the world's most prosperous nation. "Next Generation GST Reforms" are a testimony to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's determination to serve the poor, youth, farmers and women, Union Minister Shah said in English and Hindi on X with the hashtag 'GST Bachat Utsav'.

Claims of additional income increase

He said that through next-generation GST reforms, the Modi government is opening up numerous opportunities to boost the incomes of the middle class and ensuring that their savings steadily grow. The significant reduction in GST rates on daily essentials, healthcare products, electronic devices, and educational materials will increase their additional income and encourage them to save more.

He said, "The unprecedented relief in GST in the sectors of food and household goods, house construction and materials, automobiles, agriculture, services, toys, sports, handicrafts, education, medical and health, insurance, etc. will bring joy to the lives of citizens and also increase their savings. Be it zero GST on several dairy products, or unprecedented reduction on daily commodities like soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair oil, shampoo, the next generation GST reforms have brought the gift of joy to every home."

Farmers are excited by the reduction in GST on agricultural equipment and fertilizers, and now citizens will no longer have to worry about purchasing vehicles. You too should embrace indigenous products for everyday use.
