GST hits sales of registred branded rice in Bengaluru.

Sale of registered branded ricehas drastically come down in Bengaluru after the implementation of GST. The union government has imposed five per cent GST on the registered branded rice. Supply of the registered branded rice has stopped after the implementation of the GST. Earlier, five to six trucks of GTS Bullet rice would arrive at the market each day. A truck will have 17 tonnes of rice. After the GST implementation, not a single load has arrived. The situation with Mother India rice is the same.
