No plans of 35% slab yet under GST: MoS Finance

Chaudhary was responding to a question if the government is considering the recommendation made by the Group of Ministers (GoM) on rate rationalisation. The GoM has recommended a new tax slab of 35% for luxury and 'sin' goods like tobacco, cigarettes, aerated drinks, etc.
