Need a TV, projector or a new headset, post-September 22, 2025, it's the best time to buy these gadgets in India as consumers will be able to save significantly due to the revised lower GST rate.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India turned eight years old in 2022. In the last eight years, the one constant with the GST has been change, with the GST Council constantly revisiting rates charged on various consumer products and services.

The latest such change came into effect on September 22, 2025, when the GST Council decided to revise GST rates on various consumer durables and electronics. The council lowered the GST rate from the existing 28% to 18% on products such as televisions (up to 72 inches), projectors, and headphones.

This move by the GST Council is hugely beneficial for consumers, especially since several occasions, such as the upcoming Diwali festival, see a significant rise in the demand for consumer electronics.

With this lowered GST rate, consumers can now look to upgrade their homes with the best TVs and projectors or purchase a headset for online classes or gaming without feeling too much pressure on their wallets.

Many consumers have been putting off their plans to purchase these electronics due to their high prices. With the GST reduction, consumers will get discounts, which will ultimately boost sales for retailers as well as provide a much-needed stimulus to the sector as a whole.
