18% GST on Job Applications

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi has criticized the central government for imposing an 18% GST on job recruitment application fees, including for the Agniveer recruitment.

In a tweet, she highlighted an example from a cancer institute in Uttar Pradesh, where the application fee for jobs is Rs 1,000, with an additional Rs 180 charged as GST.

She expressed concern over the burden this places on families, stating, "Parents save every penny to educate their children, but the government is turning their dreams into a source of revenue."
