The GST’s ‘anti-proiteering’ clause makes no economic sense :-

What is this Anti - Profiteering Clasuse:- "Businesses that receive the beneit of paying lower taxes under the new goods and services tax (GST) regime can’t keep it with them. Instead, according to the GST Act, they must pass it on to consumers by reducing the price of the products they sell".

“Any reduction in rate of tax on any supply of goods or services or the beneit of input tax credit,” the Act reads, “shall be passed on to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices.”

What if the above directive is not followed:- If any business fails to comply with this rule, authorities from the National Anti-Proiteering Authority (NAPA) will use the “anti-proiteering” clause of the Act to take action against them — by ordering a reduction of prices, imposing penalties, or even cancelling a company’s registration.
