Helicopter ride is a necessarity, while insurance isn't 🙄

The GST rate should not exceed 12% and some of the essential items it may be around 5%. Charging 18% and 28% are all too much. It is just looting the public.

Not finance minister.. REVENUE MINISTER

[padmakardeshpande]

For council of ministers and FM..mediclaim insurance is under gambling for 18 percent gst....you may be ill or may not be...

Come on....no tax on cancer drugs...this is too much...what is she trying to do??? Cancer is an increasing disease in India which even common man is suffering from now. This drug should be spared from gst. This is turing out to be like what the Britisher used to do with us, collect taxes from people and fill up their revenue. This is too much!!!

It is waste of time and energy to hold such meetings in which 2-3 decisions could not be taken. The council should have sought the report from GoM before hand on the agenda items. This meeting is only an avenue to postpone the decisions. Waist of tax payers' money

Health insurance should not have gst ridiculous 😡

[SriranganathHosur]

GST is paid by all citizens... But why do they tax on life saving medicines and financial supporting health insurance....
That apart, nobody is showing any guts or vision to bring rich farmers under IT net... Even a mention of this is considered anti farmer...
During monarch days, they used to b taxed.
