Why this petition matters

Started by MSCM Assocaition

World over GST on Garments worn by the Common Man is always at the lowest slab. In India clothes priced below Rs.1000 were taxed at 5%. Now the Council is raising this rate to 12% - nearly 150% increase, with likely increase to 15%. Is it correct to raise taxes for a commodity used by the common man by 150% to 300%???

And all this being done to help just a miniscule section comprising not more than 15% of the Textile Industry, GST Council is increasing prices of 85% of the industry.
All Consumers request the Prime Minister to personally intervene to stop this increase of rates.

Sign our petition asking the government to stop the GST increase from 5 to 12% for textiles and garments.
