The Bihar government has implemented a 5% GST cut on railway platform tickets, making it the first state in the country to do so. This means that platform tickets in Bihar, which used to cost Rs 10, will now be available for Rs 9 due to the GST reduction. The decision has been well-received by railway passengers and is expected to reduce their financial burden. Additionally, the GST cut also applies to dormitory waiting rooms and cloakrooms. This move is particularly beneficial for those dropping off or picking up family members at the railway station.
