‘LOWER GST ON RAJASTHANI PRODUCTS’

JAIPUR:

Chief minister Vasundhara Raje on Wednesday wrote to Union finance minister Arun Jaitley to lower GST rates on certain products such as tilpati, marble and granite of the state. Raje requested for lowering GST on special products such as til patti, gajak, chikki and rewari. In her letter, she requested that GST be lowered to 5% from the existing 18%. She argued that GST on sweets is only 5% as this makes products such as til patti, gajak, chikki uncompetitive. She also urged that GST rates on henna products, marble, granite, hospitality sector and Rajasthani horses be lowered.
