Annapoorna Group Chairman Srinivasan reportedly apologised to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman after questioning her over the complexities of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) during a consultation with industry leaders in Coimbatore. In his original appeal, Srinivasan, who also chairs the Tamil Nadu Hotel Owners Federation, highlighted the challenges restaurateurs face due to the varied GST rates, using examples like 5% on sweets and 18% on cream-filled pastries. His speech, filled with Coimbatore-style humour, amused the audience, including Sitharaman. However, following the viral circulation of the video, Srinivasan allegedly expressed regret if his remarks were perceived as disrespectful. GST Council Meeting: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Sets Up Group of Ministers on Reducing GST on Life and Health Insurance; Cuts Rate on Cancer Drugs and Namkeens.
