MAI’s call for a 5% GST slab on tickets up to ₹300 is gaining nationwide support — covered by ET, Moneycontrol, CNBC & more. This coverage underscores the industry push to make cinema more affordable, expand screens, and support regional films. #CinemaForAll #GST
MAI urges GST rationalization for cinemas:
🎟️ 5% (w/ ITC) up to ₹300
🎟️ 18% beyond ₹300
Current ₹100 slab (2018) no longer reflects inflation. Revision can boost affordability, viability, draw investments & create jobs.
