Finin2min rate-control status
Current total GST: 5% (CGST component 2.5%; corresponding SGST/UTGST component ordinarily mirrors CGST, while IGST is the combined rate).
For related guidance and tools, visit the GST Law & Practice Hub.
Legal state: Verified current entry, checked against two independent sources. Effective from: 2025-09-22.
Use the HSN / Goods GST Rate Finder to apply these points to your figures.
Classification warning: An HSN match is only a candidate. The complete goods description, exclusions, Customs Tariff notes, packaging/RSP/end-use conditions and supply date control the conclusion — confirm whether the specific supply is genuinely "pre-packaged and labelled" as defined under the Legal Metrology framework before applying this rate, since loose sales of the same goods are treated differently.
For the connected rule or filing step, see Notification 01/2026-Central Tax (Rate).

Finin2min Q&A
Does a serial number alone establish the GST rate?
No. The tariff reference, complete description, exclusions, conditions, amendment history and transaction date must all match.
For the connected rule or filing step, see Schedule I Serial 1 - GST Goods Rate Entry.
Can an Integrated Tax entry be copied into a Central Tax conclusion?
The counterpart architecture is ordinarily aligned, but the exact Central Tax and applicable State or Union Territory instrument must still be verified.
How was this rate entry checked?
The serial, tariff reference and description are tied to the principal rate schedule and checked against the counterpart Government rate architecture and subsequent amendments. Classification facts and transaction date must still be tested.
When you are ready for the next step, see Schedule I Serial 10 - GST Goods Rate Entry.
Can a portal rate finder replace the Gazette?
No. It is a discovery aid. The Gazette notification and binding law remain controlling.
