GST Reform– Good news for bike lovers. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform is going to be implemented from September 22nd. Recently, the Finance Ministry notified the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) rates for products. Following this notification, states will also have to notify their State GST (SGST) rates. It is worth noting that after the approval of the GST Council, under the new system, from September 22nd, most goods and services will be taxed at the rate of 5 and 18 percent. This will reduce the prices of many everyday items.

After the implementation of the new GST reduction rules, the prices of bikes and scooters will also decrease. Companies including Royal Enfield, Hero, Honda, TVS, Yamaha, Bajaj, and others have announced to share the benefits of the GST reduction with customers.

This will reduce the prices of vehicles like Bullet, Pulsar, Apache and others. Satvir Singh, a dealer at Pashupati Motors in South Delhi, says that bookings have increased significantly. Every customer wants delivery on or after September 22nd to take advantage of the GST rate cut. He added that he expects sales to more than double this festive season.
