Chapati vs Pizza: Which is cheaper between pizza and chapati, how much will your food bill change with GST 2.0..

There is good news for food lovers. The GST Council has recently made big changes that will come into effect from September 22. The effect of these new GST 2.0 rate cuts will be directly seen in your pocket and your food bill. That is, the next time you go to your favorite cafe or pizza outlet, your bill will be less than before.

The government has reduced the tax on fast food and daily food so that the burden on people's pockets is reduced, and the restaurant industry also gets relief.

No GST on roti-paratha, chapati, and pizza now

This time, the biggest benefit is going to Indian bread and fast food lovers. There will be no GST on chapati, paratha, and pizza bread now. Earlier, there was 5% GST. This means that the bill will start coming less in Domino's, Pizza Hut, or any restaurant.

Which foods, including pasta, will be cheaper?

The price of pasta will also be less. Earlier, there was 12% GST on it, but now only 5% will be charged. Not only this, but things like pastries, cakes, biscuits, and chocolates will also be cheaper now because the tax on them has also been reduced from 12% to 5%.

Packaged food will also become cheaper.

Packaged food like instant noodles, bhujia, and namkeen will now attract only 5% GST. Earlier, 12% or 18% tax had to be paid on these.

Less tax on breakfast items

If you are a breakfast lover, there is also good news. Now only 5% GST will be levied on sausages, mushrooms, and jam-jelly; earlier it was 12%.

Cold drinks and energy drinks will become expensive.

As much benefit has been received from food items, the same shock has been received from drinks. Now 40% GST will be levied on carbonated and caffeinated beverages like Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Red Bull, or any energy drink. This means that the bill for these drinks will be even heavier.

This means that the GST cut on food and snack items will reduce your food expenses, and the bill in restaurants and cafes will be less. But if you are fond of drinks, then you will have to loosen your pocket a little more there.
