Should India cut taxes on air purifiers as pollution spikes? Govt says...

The Centre clarified that GST on air purifiers cannot be reduced immediately and any change must be decided at the next GST Council meeting. The Delhi High Court questioned why air purifiers are taxed at 18% amid a public health crisis and urged urgent relief measures. A PIL argues air purifiers should be classified as medical devices, reducing GST to 5%, citing health risks and recommendations from a parliamentary committee.
