<h1>Section 9 GST rate cut fuels festival sales for motorcycle maker; expanded dealerships and online sales heighten compliance, warranty risks</h1> A motorcycle manufacturer reported a marked uptick in festival-season bookings and sales following new model launches, expanded retail presence, and a recent reduction in goods and services tax (GST) on sub-350 cc bikes, which the company attributes to lower retail prices and stronger consumer sentiment. The firm has increased distribution in a particular state to multiple dealerships and has begun online marketplace sales. From a legal perspective, the developments highlight regulatory-driven price effects on market demand, implications for tax compliance across channels, and potential issues relating to advertising claims, consumer warranties, and customization offerings.
