Indian Twitter Remembers Raju Ki Mummy From ‘3 Idiots’ After 5% GST Announced On Paneer
I feel like in my 24 years of existence, no matter where I go, people have always complained about how living expenses and getting more and more expensive. However me being the ignorant child I was, I always believed that all these people including Raju’s mom from the legendary movie, 3 Idiots were simply exaggerating. I mean… things can’t be THAT bad, right? WRONG! Remember when Raju’s mom said that “paneer toh kuch dino me sunhaar ke dukaan pe bikegi”? she wasn’t completely wrong. After the increase in the GST rates of paneer and household goods, I am certain that Raju’s mom’s predictions weren’t simply a result of filmy overdrama.
After the GST rates were raised for a number of items at the 47th Goods and Services Tax meeting in Chandigarh last month, prices of several household items, including packed curd, lassi, buttermilk, paneer, wheat, and rice, will increase while bank services and hospital room rent will cost more starting on Monday. And to add some humour to an already sad situation, someone has agreed with me and memed upon the whole situation none other than Raju’s mom because what else are we gonna do if not sob through the tears?

Products that are pre-packaged and labelled, such as curd, lassi, buttermilk, paneer, wheat, and rice, will be subject to a 5% GST beginning on July 18. The GST Council, which is presided by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, removed exclusions from duty on these commodities at its 47th meeting. From the current nil, these products will now have a GST rate. Roads, bridges, railroads, the metro, effluent treatment facilities, and crematoriums will be subject to an 18% GST. Other daily use kitchen items which are gonna strain your pockets from today are: curd, lassi, buttermilk, all types of jaggery, natural honey, rice, wheat, rye, barley, oats, tender coconut water, wheat & meslin flour.
