There is a lot of noise with GST and lot of memes floating about GST is going to ruin us completely.
Before I tell, which side I am standing, let me share the meme which I founf the best::
Isn't it damn funny!
Well, well, having laughed at this meme, I stand strong with this GST and this revolution.
At the consumer end, may be we have to pay a little extra for few specified services and goods but we are still at the advantageous side.
But being a customer/consumer you and I need to be informed.
Let me quote a recent incident - @ Lifestyle.
Lifestyle quoted flat 50% discount, with hardly a few items at that discount rate. I had a voucher and I thought, before these cards become useless and before GST, let me complete the shopping.
On the items which were on discount, Lifestyle charged extra 5%, claiming that these are new government rules. I am talking about the days before GST was implemented.
When I inquired the store manager about which rule is such, he had absolute no idea! Of course, the same thing was done at many other stores as well.
I really felt cheated. But what option I had?
I know post GST things are going to be a little chaotic, but one thing is for sure -
Do check your bills. Now, we only need to pay the goods and service tax. There are few smart shops who are going to charge you additional for - Service tax.
Be alert and careful. DONOT pay service tax. We just need to pay GST.

Jab bhi those paise jama hote hai,
Kahi se ek awaaz ati hai...."Mitrrroooonnn!!!"
