TFP Bureau, Raipur, September 3, 2025 \u2013 Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai has lauded the sweeping reforms in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system announced by the Union Government, calling it a transformative step under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the reforms mark a new direction for India\u2019s taxation framework, ensuring relief for the common man while giving a strong push to industries and businesses.<\/p>\n
Welcoming the decision, Sai said that the reforms, which include significant reductions in GST rates and exemptions on essential items, will directly ease the burden on households. \u201cAfter granting exemption of up to \u20b912 lakh in income tax, the government has now made daily necessities, agricultural equipment, food items, medicines, educational supplies, automobiles, electronic goods, and even entertainment items cheaper through GST reforms. Several essential items have been moved to the zero-tax bracket, which will directly improve the quality of life for citizens,\u201d the Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n
He added that the reforms, which will come into effect during the upcoming Navratri festival, reflect the Prime Minister\u2019s vision of \u201cEase of Living\u201d and \u201cEase of Doing Business.\u201d By simplifying the tax structure, the government has not only reduced costs for consumers but also created an enabling environment for businesses, especially small traders, entrepreneurs, and farmers.<\/p>\n
Sai stressed that these reforms will give new energy to India\u2019s economy by boosting consumption, increasing competitiveness in industry, and improving investor confidence. \u201cThis decision is not only a step towards making taxation simpler but also a reflection of the Modi government\u2019s determination to strengthen both households and the business community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On behalf of the three crore people of Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Sai expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for spearheading the reform. \u201cThis bold step is proof of the government\u2019s commitment to making life simpler for ordinary citizens while propelling India to new heights in the global economy,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
Officials in Raipur noted that the reforms are expected to bring down the cost of living, encourage local production, and ensure that the benefits of a simplified GST system reach every section of society\u2014from farmers and students to patients and small traders. The move is being hailed as one of the most significant milestones in India\u2019s economic policy since the introduction of GST in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
