Consumer Durable Stocks In Focus:<\/strong> Consumer durable stocks such as Voltas, Blue Star, PG Electroplast (PGEL), and Amber Enterprises jumped up to 10% on Monday, August 18, amid expectations of a possible cut in GST rates on the segment.<\/p>\n

The Centre has proposed to \u201cessentially move towards simple tax” with 2 slabs\u2014”standard and merit”, with special rates applicable for only for select few items, the finance ministry said on Friday.<\/p>\n

As per sources, the finance ministry has proposed to have two slab rates \u2013 5% and 18% against the current four-slab structure. Majority of commodities of common man use will be under 5% (99 percent of items in 12% slab category will go to 5 percent) and 90 percent of items in 28 percent to be accommodated in 18% slab.<\/p>\n

If everything goes as predicted, customer durable items like AC and Fridge will attract lower GST, leading to spur in demand according to analysts, as quoted by CNBC TV-18.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued after Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s Independence day address where he announced that GST reforms which will lower tax burden substantially and benefit small industries will be implemented by Diwali, the ministry said that the central government has sent its proposal on GST rate rationalisation and reforms \u2014 specifically linked to structural reforms, rate rationalisation, and ease of living \u2014 to the Group of Ministers (GoM) constituted by the GST Council to examine this issue.<\/p>\n

At present, in the electronics category, air conditioners and large-screen TVs (above 32 inches) are taxed at 28% GST, while items like smartphones, refrigerators, small-screen TVs, washing machines, and microwaves come under the 18% slab.<\/p>\n

Shares of Blue Star, the manufacturer of home appliances, were trading up 7 per cent around 10:00 am to trade at Rs 1,908 apiece. Meanwhile, PGEL shares jumped 8 per cent to trade above Rs 525 apiece, against the previous day close at Rs 489.65 apiece.<\/p>\n
