Service tax will hit mall business

Business will not be normal in malls as the rise in service tax and excise tax will spur up prices of retail products thus pinching the pockets of consumers.

The rise will have a service and excise tax will have a 20 per cent rise in input cost which will result in inflation, Kumar said.
