AP govt launches month-long drive to highlight GST 2.0 benefits

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said that the TDP-led NDA government will undertake a month-long awareness campaign on ‘GST 2.0’ reforms to enlighten people about the benefits they stand to derive from lower prices through the recent restructuring of the indirect tax regime.

The GST Council has approved a complete overhaul of the goods and services tax regime, slashing tax on several commonly used items, from hair oil to corn flakes and personal health and life insurance



policies and umpteen others.

Addressing the Assembly, the chief minister on Monday said the government will organise 65,000 meetings as part of this initiative.

“The state government decided to organise 65,000 meetings starting from Monday till the Diwali festival. Door-to-door campaigns will be taken up to bring awareness among people about how they are benefiting from the GST cut on essential commodities, household articles, medicines and various other articles,” said Naidu.
