From 22nd September, the first day of Navratri, the new GST rates will be implemented. The government is calling it NextGen GST. Now, the middle class is looking at this change with a lot of hope. The expectation is simple, if GST rates are reduced, things should cost less. But the reality might play out differently. There’s a chance that while the tax percentage drops, the base prices could adjust in such a way that the final cost still looks the same. That’s exactly the gap between expectation and possibility that this image captures. Yes, there is an *anti-profiteering clause* meant to ensure that businesses pass on the benefits of lower GST to consumers. But the big question is, will it truly be enforced in spirit, or will prices quietly find their way back to the same ₹100 mark? For the middle class, it’s not about tax percentages on paper, it’s about whether they’ll actually feel a difference in their wallets. Middle class math: Expectations ₹89, Possibility ₹100. What do you think, will NextGen GST truly lighten the load, or just reshuffle the math?

The daily products prices most probably won't change. They might increase the quantity but not change as even when the prices and gst increased they cut their quantity and kept the same prices. So that's what is gonna happen even now. Only in food or dining out you can feel the difference in bill from 12-18% to now 5% Effect can be seen in other stuffs like ciggerate and etc which is now at 40% up from 28%

They will still cook the numbers so the middle class will still shed the amount, even if the rates are cut. It's just a Facade if you ask me...

Good analysis but curious about enforcement mechanisms. Are there any penalties for businesses that don't pass on GST reductions? And how would consumers even prove price manipulation?

The math doesn't even make sense here. If GST drops from 18% to 5%, how does the base price magically jump from ₹84.75 to ₹95.24? That's not market adjustment, that's straight up price manipulation

Anti-profiteering clause is a joke. Businesses will just increase base prices overnight and blame 'market conditions.' Government knows this but acts shocked every time. It's basically a shell game to make people think they're getting relief

💡 Did you know that only 5–6% of Indians actually pay income tax? Of the 7.4 crore returns filed in 2022–23, nearly 70% had zero tax liability. That leaves a thin slice of the population, mostly salaried middle class professionals who are bearing t

This is a staggering chart. Indian middle class wages have stagnated over the past decade while food prices have gone up.
