A new report recommends lowering the Goods and Services Tax on household insecticides. The current 18 percent rate could be reduced to 5 percent. This change aims to make these products more affordable and accessible. Such a move would help combat vector-borne diseases across India. It would also strengthen the nation's preventive healthcare system.
