GST on sanitary napkin has been exempted but does that make any sense if the raw material & other goods required to make the sanitary napkins is still taxed ? The next step should be to make the raw material for pads to be GST free. Thousands of women in India are dying due to the ill effect of poor menstrual hygiene, i urge you all to join us and support the WASH campaign – Women Sanitation Hygiene.
