印度手机行业要求降低手机和零部件的消费税
ICEA表示，消费税的提高产生了涓滴效应，导致消费者价格上涨，这反过来又降低了对手机的需求，并补充说，这正成为政府“数字印度”倡议的威慑。
印度手机及电子协会(工商东亚)和咨询公司安永(Ernst & Young)在一份联合报告中表示，12%的手机消费税使该行业的税收从目前8.2%的全国平均税率(前GST时代)增加了近50%。随着消费税的增加，该行业逐渐摆脱了消费税，政府再次将税率提高了50%(即从12%提高到18%)。

该手机机构表示，已与各邦首席部长沟通，以减少成本手机的商品及服务税，以及零部件。
该公司强调，手机用户已突破10亿大关，手机的月销量一直保持在2000万至2700万部之间。
由于供应下降到历史最低水平，受欢迎的手机缺货
业内高管表示，各品牌在排灯节期间已经填满了渠道，即使在供应不足的情况下也能确保供货，但现在几款最畅销的车型已经完全售罄，自10月底以来，大多数品牌的供应都受到了严重影响。
报告称:“合理的间接税，即增值税和消费税，在过去15年里累计在6-8%之间，是移动行业蓬勃发展的原因之一。”
“在大多数产品和大宗商品中，印度在全球市场的份额约为2-3%，与我们在全球GDP中的份额同步，即3.2%，但在手机领域，我们的价值份额超过5%。合理的税收是原因之一。”
“政府已经意识到移动电话在制定数字议程中的重要性。移动电话和零部件的税率必须合理化，正如这份报告所强调的，移动电话的税率必须恢复到12%，同时取消倒置税率结构，”安永合伙人比平·萨普拉说。
5G手机占印度智能手机出货量的22%
5G智能手机在该国的出货量继续获得吸引力等设备根据CMR的数据，在2021年第三季度占据了22%的市场份额。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: India\u2019s handset industry has demanded that the GST<\/a> rate on mobile phones should be reduced from 18% currently to 12% and the GST rate on parts and components should be reduced to 5%, reasoning that the high rate has led to a rise in prices which is decreasing demand for mobile phones. The Indian Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA<\/a>) and consulting firm Ernst & Young (EY), in a joint report said that the 12% GST rate on mobile handsets increased tax by almost 50% in this sector from a prevailing national average rate of ~8.2% (pre-GST era). The industry was emerging from GST with a tax increase, and the Government once more increased the rate by another 50% (i.e. from 12% to 18%).
This increase in the GST rate has a trickle-down effect leading to the rise in prices for the consumer, which in turn is decreasing the demand for mobile phones, ICEA said, adding that is becoming a deterrent to the government\u2019s \u2018Digital India\u2019 initiative.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cAffordability will be key to India reaching an $80 billion size in the domestic market by 2026, and GST rates<\/a> will play an important role,\u201d said Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman, ICEA.
ICEA represents companies Apple, Lava, Micromax, Xiaomi<\/a>, Oppo, Vivo, among others.
The handset body said it has communicated to various state Chief Ministers (CMs) to reduce GST on mobile phones<\/a>, as well as, on parts & components.
It stressed that mobile phone subscribers have crossed the one-billion mark and the monthly sales of mobile phones have been consistently in the range of 20-27 million units.
