This program provides an in-depth look at the government’s GST 2.0 reforms, which simplify India’s tax structure to two main rates of 5% and 18%, effective September 22, 2025. The Prime Minister has characterized these changes as a boost to ‘ease of living’ and a ‘Diwali gift’ for the nation. The GST Council’s decisions aim to stimulate domestic consumption and potentially offset the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs on Indian exports. Experts and industry leaders analyze the economic implications, debating whether these tax cuts will revive demand, consumption, and investment, or if the move is politically motivated ahead of Bihar elections. Discussions also cover the fiscal implications, with a former finance ministry official citing a potential loss of two lakh crore, exceeding the stated 48,000 crore. The program addresses concerns regarding MSMEs, compliance simplification with the new GST appellate tribunal, and its operationalization. Additionally, the broadcast includes reports on devastating floods across North India, the passing of fashion icon Giorgio Armani at 91, and India’s historic win at the World Youth Scrabble Championship 2025 by 14-year-old Madhav Gopal Kamath. #newstoday #gst2point0 #gstreforms #indianeconomy #taxcuts #pchidambaram #narendramodi #makeinindia #economicgrowth #trumptariffs #manipurpeace #delhifloods #punjabfloods #westbengalpolitics #shikhardhawan #talkingpoint #msme #northindiafloods #monsoon #giorgioarmani #scrabble #madhavgopalkamath #indiatoday #currentaffairs #gstcouncil #economicdebate
