Big Festive Gift on Navratri: Modi Government Announces NEXT-Gen GST Reforms with Historic Tax Cuts on 390 Items

New Delhi: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah announced that on the auspicious occasion of Navratri, the Modi government has given the nation a historic gift through NEXT-Gen GST Reforms. The reform, promised earlier by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has now been implemented across the country.

Shah stated that GST rates on more than 390 items have been significantly reduced, covering food and household products, automobiles, agricultural equipment, healthcare, textiles, education, insurance, home building materials, and services. He emphasized that this relief will not only bring happiness to people’s lives but also increase their savings.

Highlighting its importance, Shah said the NEXT-Gen GST Reform will play a crucial role in realizing the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). Tax cuts in sectors like agriculture, healthcare, textiles, and man-made fiber are expected to boost manufacturing.

According to Shah, this reform reflects Prime Minister Modi’s strong resolve to serve the poor, youth, farmers, and women. Daily essentials such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, hair oil, and several dairy products will now attract zero or minimal GST, providing direct benefits to households across the country.

Additionally, life insurance, health insurance, senior citizen policies, 33 life-saving drugs, and diagnostic kits have been brought under zero GST. Medical, dental, and veterinary devices will now attract minimal GST, making healthcare more affordable and significantly increasing household savings.

With reduced taxes on agricultural equipment and fertilizers, farmers are set to benefit, while the automobile sector is also expected to see growth. Shah appealed to citizens to adopt indigenous products in their daily lives and contribute to building a self-reliant nation.
