Slashed GST Rates That Would Be Effective From November 15, 2017

The GST Council had reduced the GST rates on several products, which will make them cheaper. However, this will happen only if the producers of these products cut rates. Here is a complete list of products that can get cheaper with effect from today (November 15, 2017).
