Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation at 5 pm on Sunday (September 21), officials said. However, there is no official word on the subject of his address in the evening. The address comes on the eve of Navratri, coinciding with the implementation of GST rate cuts, which are expected to reduce prices on a wide range of products.
The government has removed the 12 per cent and 28 per cent GST slabs, simplifying the structure from four slabs to two main slabs. Under the revised system, the standard GST rates will be 5 per cent and 18 per cent. Additionally, a 40 per cent GST slab will continue to apply to sin goods and certain high-end vehicles.
