Govt Clarifies: GST on Caramel Popcorn Sold in Cinema Halls to Stay at 5%

Recent outrage over an 18% GST on caramelized popcorn has been clarified by government sources, affirming that popcorn sold in theatres remains at a 5% rate as part of restaurant services. The confusion stemmed from discussions in the GST Council meeting, which emphasized no changes were made to popcorn taxation. Additionally, the GST on old electric vehicles increased to 18% for simplification.
