GST rate cuts to significantly benefit people: Uttarakhand CM

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami says revised GST rates from Sept 22 will provide consumer relief, boost economy, and enhance purchasing power during festive season.

"This revision will lead to a reduction in the prices of all covered goods - Finance Department Release"

Dehradun, September 19

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government has significantly reduced GST rates across the country and the revised GST rates will also come into effect in the state from September 22.

He said this will not only provide relief to consumers but also accelerate economic growth, according to a release.

The Finance Department has issued the revised GST rates applicable to major consumer goods and services in the state from September 22. With GST rates reduced on most goods and services, consumers will receive substantial relief during the festive season.

Finance Secretary Dilip Jawalkar informed that in accordance with the decisions taken in the 56th meeting of the GST Council, the Central Government has issued several notifications regarding tax rate revisions.

Subsequently, the Government of Uttarakhand also issued related notifications on September 18, 2025, specifying the revised rates on various goods and services.

This revision will lead to a reduction in the prices of all covered goods, enhancing consumers' purchasing power, which in turn will boost demand and encourage trade and business activities.

The release said that simplification of tax rates will directly benefit the people and have a positive long-term impact on the economy. The objective of these reforms is to provide maximum benefit to the common people, particularly those in the lower and middle-income groups. Farmers and traders are also expected to gain significantly from these tax reforms.

As a small business owner in Dehradun, I welcome this move. Lower GST means more customers and better sales during the festive season. Hope the implementation is smooth.

While rate cuts are welcome, I hope the government ensures that businesses actually pass on the benefits. Last time, many shops didn't reduce prices despite GST cuts.

Good step for middle-class families! With inflation hitting hard, any relief in daily essentials is much needed. Hope they've reduced rates on groceries and household items significantly.

Hope this includes reduction in GST on essential items like medicines and educational materials. The common man needs relief where it matters most, not just on luxury goods.
