There will be relief from the tax burden. The government's decision is based on the will of the people. The dream of one nation, one tax is being realised. This reform will continue.

On the first day of Navratri, sweets will reach crores of households in the country in the form of GST reforms. GST 2.0 will be a benefit for the entire sector of the country.
