Feel Victimised By GST Slabs, Say Bengal Sweet Shops. Want Rates Changed

If the Centre hopes to celebrate the rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) with the famed rosogollas of West Bengal, they may be in for a shock. The sweet industry of West Bengal has written to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley asking him to tweak or scrap on the tax levied on sweets. Sandip Mallik of the Balaram and Radharam Mullick Sweets said that the 1.5 lakh shops across West Bengal are feeling victimised by the GST slabs of the Centre.
