Whitening creams, cosmetics and other beauty products needs to be on the higher end of GST and medicines and treatments on the lower end , the former being non-essential and luxury/semi-luxury items. Indian native system of medicine -ayurveda, and alternative systems too must be encouraged which needs it to be on the lower tax slabs. I don't think ayurvedic products offer commissions of 50% and more like the other system. It is said an ayurvedic physician can diagnose 18 variants from pulse, and a Tibetan monk 136, and an allopath one.
Now people are realizing the greatness of GST. It is a plot to increase indirect tax levels substantially across the country. If you eat in a hotel, you have to pay more. If you stay in a hotel, you have to pay more. For insurance policies, premium will be higher. FMCG goods cost more. In the name of simplification of tax structure, the government has deliberately fixed higher slabs.
Can anyone tell us who is liking Jaitely except Modi, whole aim is to bring maximum people in tax net, he is not bothered for any common man. Big burden will again fall on LIG, MIG and upper MIG group.
