Prof.Kantharaj: GST and SGST taxes on PiZZA hut products like Piza is 6.21 and 6.21% for Rs 69 pizza; this is = Rs12.42 per pizaa. This is equivalent to 18% tax. This nothing short of public cheating by Narendra Modi (Center)and Siddaramaiah (Karnataka Govt). We should protest against looting of common men and women in India.
