- The Indian government plans to simplify the GST system by reducing the number of tax slabs to two: 5% and 18%. Healthcare will benefit significantly, with all medicines moving to the 5% bracket and over 30 cancer drugs becoming tax-free. Essential items like washing machines, air conditioners, and agricultural products will see reduced taxes, boosting consumption. Textiles, handicrafts, and educational supplies will also become cheaper. The reforms aim to counter external economic challenges, such as US tariffs, by stimulating domestic demand.
