GST Council to consider 5% tax on air, water purifiers

The GST Council in India might meet to discuss lowering the tax on air and water purifiers from 18% to 5%.

This is because the air quality is getting worse and not everyone has access to clean drinking water.

They might also talk about lowering taxes on some insecticides used at home.

Some experts say that even if the tax is lowered, the price might not go down much if the tax on the parts used to make these products stays high.

A court in Delhi has asked the government to think about this change, but the government is worried it might lead to other similar demands.

Many people and groups have been asking for this change.
