Govt. Monitors Companies Amidst GST Rate Adjustments
The government is watching companies to make sure they lower prices when taxes (GST) change.

The government is checking if companies are changing prices unfairly, like by changing products slightly or adding a bit more to the package.
Some companies have decreased prices or increased the volume of the product.
If you think a company is being unfair, you can complain, and the government will investigate to make sure you get a fair price.
