A.The Western India Electrical Accessories Manufacturers Association has appealed to the GST Council to lower the goods and services tax on electrical equipment from the proposed 18-28 per cent to 12 per cent.

The Centre has proposed 18 per cent on switches, fuses, lighting arresters, surges, etc, and 28 per cent on electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits like switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressers, plugs, sockets and lamp holders. Ashok V Maru, president of the association, said, “The proposed rates of GST for electrical apparatus not exceeding 1,000 volts has left the entire electrical apparatus manufacturing industry in deep gloom. This move will virtually wipe out the electrical accessories industry.”
