🖥️ 1. What Is the SavingsWithGST Portal?

The SavingsWithGST portal is a government initiative designed to make the benefits of GST 2.0 crystal clear.

  • Hosted on MyGov India, the platform compares Base Price, VAT-era Price, and GST 2.0 Price of the same product.
  • Users can add items to a virtual cart and instantly see how much they save.
  • The government has called it a “Next-Generation GST experience.”

🛒 2. How to Check Your Savings

Using the portal is simple and user-friendly:

Visit the official SavingsWithGST website.

Add items like groceries, packaged foods, or essentials to your cart.

View three price comparisons:

Base Price (without tax)

VAT-era Price (old system)

Next-Gen GST Price (new system)

✅ The difference shows your exact savings.


🥛 3. Example: Milk Before & After GST 2.0

Let’s say you add 1 liter of milk to your cart:

  • Base Price: Rs 60
  • Price under VAT: Rs 63.6
  • Price under GST 2.0: Rs 60
👉 Result: Direct savings of Rs 3.6 per liter compared to the VAT-era price.

Multiply that by monthly household consumption, and the benefits add up quickly.


📊 4. GST 2.0: Simplified Tax Slabs

One of the highlights of GST 2.0 is its streamlined structure:

  • Old GST: 5%, 12%, 18%, 28% slabs
  • New GST 2.0: Only two slabs—5% and 18%
  • A 40% slab applies only to luxury & sin goods (alcohol, cigarettes, high-end cars).
This ensures that essential goods and packaged food items fall under the lower tax bracket, directly reducing household expenses.


🇮🇳 5. Why This Reform Matters
