  5. It is good decision by the GST council. Huge life & non-life insurers & policy Holders demanding reduce the GST rates on premiums. Which is dearer to the middle & lower income people. Minitruck's & Passenger Auto Rickshaw's owners are not able to bear the same. Muralikrishna Pandray. Insurance. ADONI. Mail id:sherainsurance@gmail.com
