The NDA administration has devised a plan to distribute the advantages of the GST to the general populace ahead of the next assembly elections in Bihar.
In order to help women, farmers, young people, and the elderly, the lower tariffs will be in effect starting with Navratri. Vehicles, ordinary goods, and agricultural equipment now have lower taxes. Prior to the festivals, the government wants to help the average person.
In order to take advantage of the significant GST (Goods and Services Tax) discount offered by the Modi administration, NDA strategists have stepped up their preparations ahead of the assembly elections.
Beginning on September 22, the first day of Navratri, or Kalash Sthapana, the lower GST will be in effect. In addition, a campaign has been launched to educate the public about the advantages by bringing together voters from all walks of life, with a focus on women, farmers, young people, and senior citizens.
By offering farmers agricultural equipment and Laccha Paratha, a popular dish among young people, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) hopes to profit on the drop in the cost of vehicles and motorcycles.
Up a same vein, a plan is being developed to relate each segment to the advantages and draw attention by tying it up with the GYAN concept (Poor, Youth, Annadata, Nari Shakti).
In actuality, the government is making sure that the average person benefits directly from changes in prices for ordinary goods and respite before holidays (Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath). Small customers and the middle class will be less resentful as a result, and the government will gain votes.
Messages in Time
The government has explicitly directed businesses and entrepreneurs to showcase the advantages of price reductions to the public on the first day of Navratri.
In addition, programs have been launched to raise awareness of the advantages of cars, gadgets, and other products after the significant reductions. Businesses must use marketing to let customers know about the price drop. The economy will benefit greatly and extensively from rationalization.
The majority of everyday commodities, including milk, now have a five percent “zero tax” applied to them. At the same time, the administration has made it plain that it wants to see India thrive by enacting “zero tax” on future necessities like insurance and education.
NDA strategists believe that lowering taxes on health, agriculture, medications, and cars from zero to eighteen percent will be the answer to these industries’ explosive growth. The changes would have the greatest qualitative impact on states like Bihar.
There is no GST on a few of necessities. Previously, you had to pay 18% tax on parathas, but now you would not have to pay GST when buying any kind of roti.
Previously, the following items were subject to taxes: roti, oil, namkeen, textile, tractor, machinery, hand pump, renewable energy equipment, educational materials such as books, pencils, and copies, razors, milk bottles, electric and electronic goods, transportation, sports, and wooden goods, as well as items related to the defense sector, footwear, construction materials like brick and sand, handicrafts, and employment-related items.
All of them are now down to only 12 and 5 percent. Meanwhile, many basic goods now have 0 percent GST.
