Plan for 2025 BBD / GIF Sale

Hi,

So government updated GST rates from Sept 22. Many products like TV, AC are affected. Do you think its better to buy these products efter Sept 22 maybe during Dussehra sale or Diwali sale when I think they may be cheaper due to the new GST slabs?

Attaching the new slab rates below

and what if seller not give this price advantage to customers like they increase base price and the final price remains same with decreased GST rates.
 
it takes atleast a calendar quarter for it be implemented.

I am not so sure about that. A couple of points:

1) The PM presented it on 15th August as the "Diwali Gift". It would look ridiculous if it doesn't kick in before that. There must be some mechanism to fast-track it. I think that's the reason the meeting was done so soon, and the date (22 Sept) was also announced.

2) A few days back someone important (the owner?) from Vijay Sales mentioned in an interview that he expected it to kick in by the first day of Navratri, and that he also expected some increased sales because of it, which was the whole point.
