Agra: You all must be aware that the Modi government has implemented GST on many things including food and drink, and since then things have become expensive. However, have all of you ever heard that even urinating will have to pay GST? No, but it has happened. Yes, GST has to be paid for urinating at the railway station. This case is from Agra. Two British nationals reached Agra Cantt from Delhi to Agra via Gatimaan Express train. Here a guide arrived to receive them, and both the citizens expressed their desire to urinate at the station. After that, the guide took both of them to the railway toilet, where they had to pay Rs 224 after coming after urinating.
It is being told that when both the British nationals came back from the washroom after five minutes, they were told that they would have to pay Rs 100 plus GST of Rs 12 per person i.e. a total of Rs 112. In fact, the employee sitting outside the lounge asked him for Rs 224 for two men and when the guide objected to this, the employee got furious and after that the guide paid Rs 224 on his behalf.
In this matter, IC Srivastava said that due to such rules of railways, a wrong image is created in the minds of the tourists landing at Agra station. At the same time, the guide has also complained to the tourism department. With this, Brajesh Kumar, the local representative of IRCTC regarding this matter, said that the charge for spending two hours in the executive lounge is Rs 200 per person and the tourists must have spent some time there, so they had to pay the charge.
