GST Cut Brings Festive Cheer : Shopping in festivals has become all the more exciting for the Indian shopper. Cuts by the government in GST on ACs, dishwashers, etc., from 28% to 18% have turned up as a sigh of relief. Leading brands have already dropped their prices because of the recent taxes in GST, making these items affordable. So, it might really be the right moment if you’ve thought of bringing home a new AC or dishwasher.
New Prices for AC and How Much You Save
The costs of AC have come down by ₹4500 or more, courtesy of the reduction in GST. The Daikin 1.5-ton 5-star inverter split AC, which was earlier priced at about 73800, is now available at 68020. The base-level 1-ton inverter split AC from LG is now on sale for 32890. In addition, the price has also reduced for Voltas’ inverter window AC from 46990 to 43290. Thus, these cuts were very necessary, and these manufacturers also manufacture good quality and energy-efficient air conditioners.
Dishwashers Also Fare Badly

This has thus widened the gap at which dishwashers are now priced, again like AC prices. Entry-level machines start around ₹45,000 and stretch completely to top-of-the-range models. The premium models lose as much as ₹8,000 in the slashing spree. The most expensive ones are about ₹96,500. The entry-level model by Voltas Beko is very cheap at merely ₹23,390, thus trying to understand those from the middle-class strata who want to revamp their kitchens with the latest appliances.
