The burden of inflation has increased on the common man from today (July 18). Last month, the GST Council, during its meeting, decided to impose GST on many items of domestic use and increase the GST rates on some items.

Relief is just that there is no GST on unbranded things sold in the open

It is expensive to book private rooms in hotels and hospitals
Till now, we did not have to pay any GST charge for staying in cheap or budget hotels with rent less than Rs 1000, but from today we will have to pay GST at the rate of 12 percent for staying in such hotels. At the same time, GST will be charged at the rate of five percent for hospitalized patients for booking a room (other than ICU) for more than five thousand rupees. In such a situation, after the levy of this charge, the treatment has also become expensive today.
