Mumbai, Maharashtra, 8th of October, 2026 : CMAI Reaction On GST Council Meeting Outcome By Santosh Katariya, President, Clothing Manufacturers Association Of India (CMAI).
“CMAI welcomes the procedural reforms that the GST Council has announced today, in particular the limiting of the powers of the GST officers for prosecution and eliminating the powers to arrest. However, we still express our disappointment at the charging of 18% GST for products over Rs. 2500, making garments probably one of the few products where GST has actually gone up after the last round of reforms. We were hoping that the slab rate could be increased to at least Rs. 10,000, which, in view of the forthcoming festive season, would have made a huge impact on the consumption and sales of garments during the festival season.”
