India’s government tells Delhi High Court only the GST Council can set air purifier tax rates, not courts.
The Indian government has told the Delhi High Court that only the GST Council, not the judiciary, can decide tax rates on air purifiers, warning that court intervention would violate constitutional separation of powers.
In an affidavit, the Centre argued that reclassifying air purifiers as medical devices to lower their 18% GST to 5% would impose strict regulations, restrict market access, and create monopolies.
It dismissed a public interest petition as a "colourable" attempt to gain commercial advantage, stressing that tax classification is separate from medical device status.
The case, prompted by Delhi’s severe air pollution, will be heard again on January 9, 2026.
El gobierno de la India le dice a la Corte Suprema de Delhi que solo el Consejo de GST puede fijar las tasas de impuestos de purificadores de aire, no los tribunales.
