@AshwiniVaishnaw But sir as a common Indian we have concern that "Many companies will now try to hike prices to offset the GST benefits instead of passing them on to you" What are the tracking methods you have to avoid this? r We must stay vigilant against such companies that constantly look
@AshwiniVaishnaw @grok what do you think about this? Take reference from the past also.
@AshwiniVaishnaw @MIB_India 🚨 But looking at Bihar elections people who are medium class or below medium to earn from car he buys car longer than 4 metres which can accommodates 7 passenger but there gst is increased from 28% to 40%.
@AshwiniVaishnaw जीएसटी कम करने का कोई फायदा मध्यम वर्ग को या गरीब वर्ग को नहीं हुआ है साबुन पर पैसे कम कर दिए सबूत तो उसने खरीदना ही है ₹2 सस्ता मिल जाएगा जीएसटी काम करने का फायदा जब था जब रेलवे के टिकट के अंदर जीएसटी को खत्म किया जाता रेलवे किराया ले रही है सुपरफास्ट चार्ज ले रही है और जीएसटी
@AshwiniVaishnaw 📈 Products Shifted from 12% to 18% GST Slab that will make your life more expensive 🏠 Consumer Durables & Electronics ▶️ Water purifiers ▶️ Ceiling fans ▶️ Electric irons ▶️ LED lighting systems ▶️ Home security systems ▶️ Basic kitchen appliances (e.g., mixers, toasters) 🚗
@AshwiniVaishnaw Alcohol sin item me hai ki nahi ??
@AshwiniVaishnaw Smart move overall, but that 40% tax on bikes above 350CC feels harsh.😔😔
@AshwiniVaishnaw Why Modi looted us for this many years? Why you guys are not bringing Petrol/Diesel under GST?
@AshwiniVaishnaw Income tax slab at 30% Income is almost a Sin?
@AshwiniVaishnaw Why ur govt looted from last 8 years.. this what the people and opposition was asking ?
@AshwiniVaishnaw Malik itna kuch kar diya hai to Petrol/Diesel ko bhi kar dete.
@AshwiniVaishnaw Jokers. Trouble the people for 11 years, and then portray the removal of the trouble as if it is a big gift.
@AshwiniVaishnaw Great initiative on GST reforms! However, no relief for electronics (e.g., TVs, ACs still 18% from 28%) and IT services disappoints. IT/ITES faces cascading tax issues, and electronics remain costly despite industry pleas. Can we expect future relief? #NextGenGST
@AshwiniVaishnaw Sir 2018 sey request kar raha hu aap hi @nsitharaman ji aur @narendramodi sey KUCH RAHAT DILVA DI JIYE. https://x.com/Raajarora1974/st...
@AshwiniVaishnaw What happened to services?
@AshwiniVaishnaw How cola is a luxury? https://x.com/GD_Pai_blr/statu...
@AshwiniVaishnaw Bhai koi aur kaam bhi karle Kab tak yeh copy paste ki zindagi jeeyega
@AshwiniVaishnaw The Entire Reform is dedicated to the middle class.✌️
@AshwiniVaishnaw This GST makes sense. ✅ Does this mean that @narendramodi Govt was looting common man since last 8 years? Or it’s just a stunt/lollypop before #BiharElections and #WestBengalElection ?? #GSTReform How will the state Govts adjust the shortage of funds? @nsitharaman
@AshwiniVaishnaw I feel essentials should be taxed at 0%, and everything else under a single 18% slab. This would simplify GST, cut compliance costs, and reduce complexity for businesses and consumers.
@AshwiniVaishnaw Sir luxury mein rehna ya aspire karna paap hai kya?
@AshwiniVaishnaw We can have only 4 slabs 1. All essential eatable, food items. 0% 2. Normal items used commonly. 5% 3. Once in a while buying products. 10% 4. Super Luxury products. 15% There are other ways to increase revenue on GST multiple
