Summary
- The Government has announced a reduction in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on adult and clinical diapers from 12% to 5%, following the GST Council's recommendation.
- This decision was made during the 56th GST Council meeting held on September 3, 2025, addressing the needs of persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and patients with chronic illnesses.
- However, the Government clarified that there are no plans to completely exempt these products from GST at this time.
- This partial tax relief raises questions about future considerations for further reductions or exemptions on essential health-related products.
