I have ordered LG 22MP58VQ-P monitor from paytm for Rs.6600(after hdfc cb + paytm cb) . Today GST on monitors has been decreased from 28 to 18%.
How much time does it take to reflect on online prices?
Does the new tax rate applies from next quarter or on the next day of declaring? If anyone remembers at the time of food gst slashed
Should I cancel the order and wait? I can wait only for a week or two.

It feels so bad that these fu*cking politicians do all this to win elections confused


Bought a monitor 22 inch for Rs.5100

Total tax @ 28% ~ Rs.1400

So, for Rs.5000 purchase, the total tax was around Rs.1400.

I don’t think new rates will be adjusted from next day. All distributers/retails will have to adjust prices in all their machines within a few hours. They should be applicable from next quarter.
Don’t understand why they were charging 28% on monitors in first place? wink
