It simply means that eating at restaurants, paying insurance premiums and phone bills among others will become expensive all over India from June 1 onwards. The extra financial burden that consumers have to bear can be understood with the help of a simple illustration i.e.-

A postpaid customer using 14GB plan on Reliance Pro 3 pays 700 + 12.36% (S.T) currently. The total bill amount comes up to Rs. 786.52 on monthly basis.
From now, the service tax rate will be charged at 14%, which means that the postpaid customer who is currently paying Rs. 786.52, will now end up paying Rs. 798 from June i.e. Rs. 11.48 more than the current bill amount.
