The GST Council in its 23rd meeting on Friday made big changes to the tax framework, pruning the tax rates on over 200 items. The GST Council also eased the compliance burden for SMEs. The reduction in taxes is estimated to have an impact on government revenue to the tune of Rs. 20,000 crore. “We believe the reduction in duties will benefit sectors like consumer, light electrical and home building. This, in our view, should benefit companies like HUL, GSK Consumer, Gillette, Nestle, Havells, Crompton Consumer, Finolex Cables, Kajaria Ceramics, Somany Ceramics, Century Ply, Vip Industries, Interglobe Aviation and Jet Airways among others,” brokerage Motilal Oswal said in a note.
The Sensex was muted on Monday, down nearly 100 points. Some analysts said that the GST rate cut was already factored in. The brokerage listed some of the stocks that will benefit from Friday’s big GST rate cut decision, which will be applicable from November 15.
