21. Letter Writing
Example:
To Editor of a Newspaper about the recent ban on smoking in public places: (w.e.f. 2 Oct,2009)
23 Tilak Marg,
Indira Nagar, New Delhi.
12.08.2019.
The Editor,
The Telegraph
Kolkata-70
Sub: Regarding ban on smoking in public places.
Sir,
In a bid to educate people about the harmful effects of cigarette smoking, the Government of India has recently taken
serious steps of banning smoking in public places. A few years ago, it was made obligatory for all cigarette
manufacturing units to insert a statutory warning on their cigarette packs: “Smoking is injurious to health”. Now all
cigarette packets bear this warning, but smoking, in no way, has become less common. Smokers don’t care for such
a warning because they already know what is written on their pack of cigarettes. They are addicts in the real sense
and addicts never care about the harm of a drug they take. Similarly, censorship of all cigarette smoking scenes in
Indian cinema won’t help in any way. The only remedy lies in banning all cigarette manufacturing units. If Government
can put a ban on the making of cocaine, why not the manufacturing of cigarettes?
I will be highly obliged if you kindly publish the above letter in the ‘Letters to the Editor’ column of your newspaper.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Sajat Kalai.

24. Article Writing
Write an article on the topic: GST
Goods and Service Tax
Contributed by: Ashok Roy, Class XII
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax which was introduced in India on 1
July 2017 and was applicable throughout India which replaced multiple cascading
taxes levied by the central and state governments. It was introduced as The
Constitution (One Hundred and First Amendment) Act 2017, following the passage of
Constitution 122nd Amendment Bill. The GST is governed by a GST Council and its
Chairman is the Finance Minister of India. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at
the following rates, 0%, 5%, 12% ,18% and 28%.There is a special rate of 0.25% on
rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition a cess of 15% or
other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items like aerated drinks, luxury cars
and tobacco products. GST was initially proposed to replace a slew of indirect taxes
with a unified tax and was therefore set to dramatically reshape the country's 2 trillion
dollar economy. The rate of GST in India is between double to four times that levied in
other countries like Singapore. It is to be noted that France was the first country to
implement GST.
