<h1>Kerala Government Warns Traders Against Unjust Price Hikes Post-GST; Calls for National Anti-Profiteering Authority.</h1> The Kerala government, led by the Chief Minister, has warned traders against unjustifiably raising prices following the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The government has set up a complaint mechanism to address price hikes and has raised the issue with the central government. The state Finance Minister has urged for a national anti-profiteering authority, highlighting that traders, especially in the hotel and restaurant sectors, are charging GST on pre-GST prices, leading to significant price increases. This practice has created a negative perception of GST among the public. The state plans to launch an awareness campaign to address this issue.
