Welcome to Achhe Din, where owning a luxury car is more "economically sound" than falling sick or buying essential medicines!

Yes, you read that right. If you’re rich enough to drive a Porsche Taycan, the GST you pay is just 5%—because clearly, electric cars need encouragement, especially when they cost more than a three-bedroom flat in most Indian cities.

But God forbid you fall ill! Medicines? 5–18% GST. Health insurance? 18% GST. Because in New India, it's not illness that's costly, it's the luxury of staying alive.

And if you thought buying a motorcycle was a budget-friendly choice for the common man, think again. A whopping 28% GST—because nothing says “middle-class audacity” like trying to afford two wheels in a three-tier economy.

Meanwhile, diamonds sparkle at a gentle 1.5% GST—after all, only the rich need sparkle, the poor can sweat.

This is not just a tax policy. It’s a visionary roadmap to poverty elimination—by taxing the poor so thoroughly, they’ll soon be extinct. Problem solved!

So next time you get sick, don’t buy medicines—just sit in a BMW i-Series (5% GST only) and let the cool air of justice wash over you.

Indeed, poverty is a crime, and GST is the punishment.
