Prime Minister Modi spoke of upcoming GST reforms, effective September 22, 2025, calling it ‘GST Bachat Utsav’. The revised tax structure features only 5% and 18% slabs, reducing prices on everyday items. Income up to ₹12 lakh is now tax-exempt, creating a ‘double bonanza’ for the middle class.

Following PM Modi’s announcement of next-generation GST reforms, opposition leaders criticized the changes as inadequate and overdue, while BJP leaders praised the Prime Minister’s initiative. Congress leaders demanded an apology for past GST implementations, while AAP focused on international trade issues.
