Chandigarh, October 4 - Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Naib Singh Saini today appealed to the traders of the state to ensure that they pass on the full benefit of the reduced GST rates by the Central Government to the consumers. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the people of the country have got a huge benefit through the reform in GST rates.
The Chief Minister said that it is the responsibility of the traders to become partners in taking the GST Bachat Utsav to the common people. He said that the reduction in taxes will not only give a boost to trade, but consumers will also be able to avail the benefit of goods and services at cheaper prices. Cheaper prices, increasing trade and a strong economy, this is the core spirit of the GST Utsav, which will take Haryana to a new level of progress.
He said that this reform step is a historic initiative towards self-reliant India and a strong economy, in which the active participation of the business community is essential. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the business community of Haryana will play a leading role in benefiting the consumers in line with the spirit of the Prime Minister.
The Chief Minister said that the new GST reforms implemented by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will bring huge economic benefits to the state and will directly benefit the common consumer class. This will add vibrancy to the market and give a new impetus to consumption during the festive season. The prices of many consumer goods used in daily life have come down, which will lead to greater savings for the middle class. This savings will not only provide relief to the consumers, but will also create opportunities for the business world.
