Cars, Mobile Phones, Computers. What May Get Cheaper In New GST System
New Delhi: An overhaul of the Goods and Services Tax, or GST, framework - hailed as "next-generation" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech ast week - is expected to slash prices of daily-use items by rationalising and reducing the number of brackets under which various goods are taxed. The revision is also expected to lower taxes on passenger vehicles and two-wheelers. Sources told NDTV last week five per cent and 18 per cent brackets have been proposed, and goods earlier taxed under others, i.e., 12 and 28 per cent, will now be shifted to one of these. Specifically, sources said the government plans to cut tax on 90 per cent of all goods currently attracting 28 per cent GST and drop these products into the 18 per cent bracket. A similarly large chunk of goods now taxed at 12 per cent will face reduced levies - five per cent only. The five per cent bracket will include 'daily-use' items, the government had said. In addition, there will be a special 'sin tax' of 40 per cent on certain items, including tobacco products. There will be only five to seven goods in this list, sources said. NDTV Explains | GST Reforms Coming Soon. How You Will Benefit These already attract higher levies. Chewing tobacco, for example, faces a 160 per cent cess and cigarettes are taxed through a mix of GST, cess and National Calamity Contingent Duty. Also, certain other items, such as those produced by labour-intensive and export-oriented industries, like diamonds and precious stones, will attract tax per existing rates. And finally, petroleum products will continue outside the GST framework. The expected consumption boost from this rationalisation, to be confirmed after the GST Council meets in September, is expected to offset around Rs 50,000 crore in revenue loss. So what will become cheaper? Daily-use items will become cheaper. But what these are is unclear at this time. In July sources told NDTV these could include items from toothpaste to umbrellas and small household appliances, like sewing machines, pressure cookers, and small washing machines. Daily use items like toothpaste are expected to become cheaper (File). Bicycles, readymade garments (priced over Rs 1,000), and footwear (between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000) may also be included, as could vaccines, ceramic tiles, and agricultural tools. So too will mobile phones and computers (necessary items in today's digital world), hair oil, processed foods, and stationery items for school children like geometry boxes and notebooks. READ | GST Relief For Middle Class? Cheaper Toothpaste, Utensils, Clothes, Shoes As an aside, India's multi-tier structure sees essential goods and services, including fruits and vegetables, some types of grain and some dairy products, and education charged nil GST. And what falls under 18 per cent slab? Televisions, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and aerated water, as well as some goods used in the construction industry, like ready-mix concrete and cement, will likely be on the new 18 per cent GST list. What about cars and bikes? At present passenger vehicles are subject to a GST of 28 per cent plus a compensation cess extending to 22 per cent, based on engine capacity, length, and body type. Electric cars are taxed at five per cent with no compensation cess. For two-wheelers the rate is 28 per cent. There is no compensation cess for models with an engine capacity up to 350cc, while those over that threshold pay a three per cent cess. Mid-sized and luxury passenger vehicles attract over 40 and nearly 50 per cent tax at this time. The revised GST structure eliminates the 28 per cent category, which means cars and bikes will most likely drop to the new 18 per cent bracket, making them at least 10 per cent cheaper. The Nifty Auto index jumped 4.61 per cent Monday morning on these expectations. The full list of which product faces what GST will, of course, only be released much later. The GST overhaul - and the resultant spending, the government hopes - will also likely further boost economic growth, particularly after a big thumbs-up from global ratings agency Standard and Poor. S&P upgraded India's credit rating for the first time in nearly two decades, bumping the country to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook, and completely invaliding United States President Donald Trump's eyebrow-raising 'India is a dead economy' remark.

Is there injustice with Anil Ambani by SBI and Canara banks? FRAUD classification withdrawn without any condition, legal counsel says…
Anil Ambani (File) The recent actions of State Bank of India (SBI) and Canara Bank against industrialist Anil Ambani and his company Reliance Communications (RCOM) have raised serious questions about the decision-making practices of these banks. The conditional withdrawal of such actions points weather there is lack of transparency and credibility in their processes. The Legal counsel representing Anil Ambani has said that State Bank of India's action against RCom chairman and managing director Anil Ambani does not follow principles of natural justice as laid down by the Supreme Court. 'SBI's ex-parte action against Ambani is in violation of the principles laid down by the top court, according to the counsel. SBI must reconsider its actions in this matter, as it has already withdrawn show-cause notices issued against five other non-executive directors', stated the counsel, highlighting that no personal hearing is allowed to the Anil Ambani. SBI And Canara Bank's Approach Towards Anil Ambani SBI India's largest public sector bank has withdrawn the show-cause notices issued against five non-executive directors of RCOM. Earlier, on July 10, 2025, Canara Bank, one of RCOM's consortium lenders, had also unconditionally withdrawn its decision to classify Reliance Communications' accounts and Anil Ambani as fraud before the Bombay High Court. These back-and-forth moves have raised allegations of arbitrary and discriminatory functioning within the banking system. They directly question the fairness and impartiality of the banks' decision-making processes. One of the major allegations is that SBI never gave Anil Ambani a chance to present his side of the case before linking him with these classifications. According to a media report, this can be seen as a clear violation of the Supreme Court's 'Principles of Natural Justice.' The recent actions of SBI linked to RCom and Ambani, have raised serious concerns about the transparency, fairness, and impartiality of the bank's decision-making process, according to RCom's counsel. 'SBI's order was passed ex-parte, without giving Mr. Anil D. Ambani a chance to present his case. This denial of a fair hearing clearly shows that the Principles of Natural Justice as laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court were not followed. Such one-sided decisions not only weaken confidence in the bank's credibility but also set a troubling precedent for how financial institutions treat stakeholders, especially when the reputational and financial impact is severe,' said the counsel. What Is Judicial And Regulatory Framework? The denial of a personal hearing to Anil Ambani goes against fundamental principles of fairness. More importantly, it shows that both SBI and Canara Bank bypassed established judicial and regulatory frameworks. Several landmark cases have already established precedence in such matters, including: SBI vs. Rajesh Agarwal (2023) T. Takano vs. SEBI (2022) Ankit Bhuwalka vs. IDBI Bank (2025) Milind Patel vs. Union Bank of India (2024) In all these cases, courts had stated that an account cannot be classified as fraud unless full documentation (complete disclosure) supports the claim, and the affected individual is given an opportunity to be heard. According to a media report, in Anil Ambani's case, these precedents were ignored. What Are Current Actions By SBI And Canara Bank? The Reserve Bank of India's guidelines mandate that banks must strictly adhere to principles of fairness and due process. By bypassing these binding rules, SBI appears to have acted in violation of the rule of law. Canara Bank, which earlier declared RCOM's accounts and Anil Ambani as 'fraud,' withdrew its classification unconditionally in the Bombay High Court on July 10, 2025. This reversal raised questions about the bank's decision. SBI also withdrew notices issued against five non-executive directors of RCOM, who had no role in the company's day-to-day operations. The 5 Non-Executive Directors Named in SBI's Notice Mr. Arun Kumar Purwar – Former Chairman, State Bank of India Mr. Raj Narain Murari L. Bhardwaj – Former Chairman & Managing Director, LIC Mrs. Manjari Ashok Kacker – Former Member, Central Board of Direct Taxes Mr. Deepak Haridev Shourie – Former Director, BBC Worldwide Media Prof. Jayaraman Ramachandran – Former Professor, Corporate Strategy, IIM Bangalore
