Chhattisgarh Finance Minister OP Choudhary hailed the recent GST rate cuts on Monday, viewing them as a boost to commoners' purchasing power as Navratri begins. Choudhary celebrated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reformative measures, urging traders to reflect the new rates to benefit 1.4 billion citizens.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the same note labeled the GST adjustments as 'historic,' alerting that over 390 products now bear reduced rates. Effective from today, Shah emphasized the initiative's role in boosting citizens' savings, particularly within the medical and health sectors, aligning with nationwide celebrations like the 'GST Bachat Utsav.'
