The Group of Ministers (GoM) on GST rate rationalisation is considering raising the price ceiling for the lower tax slab on textiles and footwear to enhance affordability and drive consumption, a report said. Textiles priced up to ₹1,200-₹1,500 will remain within the 5% slab, as per the reported proposal. Meanwhile, footwear within the same price range will attract 12% GST.
