Household appliances are no longer luxuries – they have become everyday needs. The 56th GST Council has announced a reduction in GST on popular home appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and other electronic goods.
This means families planning to buy or upgrade their appliances will now save more. For example, summer essentials like fridges and air-conditioners will come at a lower price, making them more affordable for middle-class homes. Washing machines, too, will be cheaper, reducing the financial burden on households.
The decision is also expected to boost the consumer goods industry. With appliances becoming more affordable, sales are likely to increase, which in turn supports manufacturers, retailers, and workers in the supply chain.
Additionally, the move will help more households adopt modern living standards. Access to basic appliances improves quality of life, reduces effort in daily chores, and brings comfort to families.
By making these goods affordable, the government has not only provided relief to consumers but also supported economic growth through higher demand.
