Andhra Pradesh: Will take up with Centre the issue of reducing GST on silk and silk saris, Pawan Kalyan tells handloom weavers

Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan has said that will hold talks with the Union government and explore the possibility of reducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on silk and silk saris.

At present, the GST on silk and silk saris is 5%.

Interacting with the handloom weavers and sericulture farmers of the Uppada coast near here late on June 15 (Thursday), Mr. Pawan Kalyan said, “The JSP will appeal to the Centre to reduce the GST on silk and silk saris. If there is no possibility at the Central level, the State government will bear it if the JSP is voted to power in 2024.”
