New GST reforms implemented nationwide are a gift of savings for all: PM Modi

Jharsuguda (Odisha), Sept 27 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the new GST reforms, implemented nationwide from September 22, including in Odisha, are a “gift of savings for all,” particularly making kitchen expenses more affordable for mothers and sisters.
Addressing a large gathering at Amlipali in western Odisha, Modi noted that the GST Savings Festival has brought immense joy to women. He highlighted Odisha’s agrarian roots and emphasised that the festival is especially beneficial for farmers. Recalling the opposition era, he said farmers previously paid Rs 70,000 in taxes while purchasing a tractor.
Under the current GST system, farmers now save approximately Rs 40,000 on the same purchase. Similarly, savings extend to agricultural machinery: Paddy transplanting machines (Rs 15,000), power tillers (Rs 10,000), and threshers (up to Rs 25,000).
