Yes, some are creating more confusion and chaos among the people by spreading false rumors about different rates of GST in the social circle, like this one which going viral like wildfire these days.
Yes, the forward has gone so viral that it prompted the D Mart company to publish a denial on its Facebook page. D-Mart stated that GST rates have nothing to do with the value of the bill, but instead depends on the products purchased. The tax rates for products are as decided by the government.
For your more clarification on this issue, here is a receipt below of purchases from a D-Mart outlet in Mumbai on 10 July (post GST) shows the application of GST to different products.
As seen, GST is not applied on the total bill amount, but on each product.
In the bill, purchases have been made of products falling in the GST slabs of 0 percent, 2.5 percent, 6 percent and 9 percent of SGST and CGST each. (SGST refers to State GST and CGST refers to Central GST).
GST is one of the most revolutionary steps taken by any Indian government till date. We request people to stop these types of rumors which ultimately result in doubts and chaos.
