WHY SANITARY NAPKINS TAXED UNDER GST?

only reason is that because government have power to levy gst on sanitary napkin....but morally they should not as already women health in India is at very poor state....but instead of giving subsidy on such items government is levying taxes.

Western Influence, try to fool you. All markets leading Sanitary companies are Foreginer and not Indian so they try to fool Indians by emotion, etc.

If any company really cares about women then why they do not reduce the price by 50%?

 

If the Government will kick all Foreginer Sanitary related company then you will not hear any such question from anyone.

 

Why Government charges, no tax on Sindoor? (Because the government wants to encourage Indian company and not a foreigner company). Don't be fooled by such advertisement on Facebook. I saw many posts which where also listed in "Sponsored" and posted an emotional image. They do not care about anyone's hygiene, or health, End user will pay Rs.50 and If increase then they are capable to pay Rs.5 tax.

 

The sanitary Napkin company doesn't want to pay taxes, By GST they will HAVE to pay TAX to Indian Government and they can't theft single penny.

 

Sanitary napkins increase cancer risk, and many dies of cancer due to Sanitary napkins and none of Media, Western Sanitary Napkin company said anything and make silence on this issue.

You just looking Indian - foreigner way.....sometimes you have to think beyond that....it is a issue of women health....secondly if government wanted to kick foreigner companies out than it would not have encouraged make in India program.....it would not ask for fdi.....your points are completely baseless.....even if government are worry about the excess profit made by sanitary pack companies than it has the power under anti profiteering provision to prevent them charging extra profit.....levying gst will not hurt these company or will just hurt financially but it will hurt badly women health....if money matters more for you than women health than I cannot argue more....

First, Our Government can't kick foreigner companies since we have a various treaty/agreement with various country and only one option is left for Government is add tax on products.

FDI and Make In India is completely different, In FDI Government want Foreginer Investment while in "Make In India" our Government want to promote manufacturing products in India but not at free of cost.

If Foreginer company will start manufaturing products in India then it will be benificial for us but Government will not stop charging tax on them. Under Make In India program, Our Government does not stop charging TAX on products manufature by foreginer companies.

 

Example:

Woman purchase a product:

Purchase Price: Rs.50

TAX: Rs.5

Total Price: 50 + 5 (tax) = 55.

 

After GST, She need to pay Rs.9 TAX.

 

Is she will stop purchasing it just because of price is now only Rs.4 higher? No.

 

Removing TAX from Sanitary Napkin will not promote womens health, Instead Government need to make pressure on Sanitary Napkin company to decrease price by 40% ~ 50%

 

Government only charge 12% TAX but Sanitary Napkins companies sell it at 300% profit to 500% or unknown. Government should do a Audit of these companies. TAX does not affect price too much unless government start charging 50% TAX.

 

I am not against women health but common people should support Government decision because of we can be victim of other's vested interest.

let's agree to disagree....you have your point of view I have mine.......on any day I will give more weight to social cause than economic cause.....unless it's against national interest......

Dear Akhilesh ji and kunnu ji
thanks for showing your interest in my queries.
Also, there are fewer indians

indian companies who making such sanitary products, but in india some foreign brand already won womens choices.

there are few Indian company who produce that....but there are many NGOs out there who also produces these type of napkins and provide them at very low cost to mostly poors and village women.....gst law does not differentiate between them and MNCs.........
