This morning, my friend rahul sent me a whatsapp message with his D-Mart bill:
👉 “Look, under GST 2.0… only TWO slabs now!”
At first glance, it seemed ordinary. But the more I thought about it, the more powerful it felt.
Because this is not just a bill.
It’s a glimpse into how tax reforms touch every Indian’s life, sometimes in the simplest ways.
The Old Confusion
Previously, GST had 4 confusing slabs — 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%.
🌀 Hard to track.
🌀 Hard to calculate.
🌀 And sometimes even hard to trust.
GST 2.0: Simplicity at Work
Now, under GST 2.0:
✅ Just 5% and 18% — simple, clear, transparent.
✅ Consumers instantly see clarity on bills.
✅ Retailers save time and reduce disputes.
✅ Compliance for businesses becomes smoother.
✅ And most importantly, trust in the system grows.
Why This Matters
Think about it — a decade ago, who imagined that even your grocery bill would reflect India’s tax reform journey?
💡 Progress isn’t just highways or airports. Sometimes it’s a tiny number on your supermarket bill.
And that’s what makes GST 2.0 so powerful:
It moves markets
It builds confidence
It strengthens trust
And it instills pride in everyday Indians
Because real reforms aren’t just about numbers on paper — they’re about making life simpler, clearer, and fairer for all of us.
