Lenovo India MD Encourages Reduction of GST levied on PCs and Laptops for Students

The Managing Director of Lenovo India has called for a reduction in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied on PCs and laptops, particularly for students. The MD argued that lowering the tax rate from the current 18% would make these devices more affordable, especially in the context of increasing reliance on digital education tools post-pandemic. The request highlights the growing recognition of technology as an essential part of education infrastructure. A reduction in GST would align with broader government initiatives to promote digital literacy and bridge the digital divide in India.
