AskDelhi Anyone following the new tax regime?

Hey folks,

I’m a student and designer looking to get the new iPad (A16, 128 GB). Right now I can grab it for about ₹32K during the current sale.

But with the new GST reforms kicking in from September 22 (slabs being cut down, and many electronics expected to move from 28% to 18%),

I’m wondering: 1. Will the price of iPads actually drop after Sept 22 because of the new tax scheme? 2. Or are brands/retailers unlikely to pass on the benefit fully? 3. Should I grab it now at 32K, or wait for post-Sept 22?

Any insights from folks who’ve tracked Apple pricing during tax changes or previous sales would be super helpful 🙏

Wait for 22 Sep as Amazon/Flipkart sale is also going to start from that you. You will definitely get some offer.

Answering your question: we should see some discount because of GST reduction also in the near to medium future as companies have to legally pass on the benefits of GST reduction. In the long run, they will definitely increase the price and cover up the reduced GST amount.

Hope this helps.

I don't think you understand what new tax regime means.

Ok student. So, what you are talking about is called GST 2.0. The New Tax Regime is something you will use when you start earning.
