Can an HSN chapter determine the GST rate?
No. The exact heading, description, exclusions, conditions, notification entry and effective date must be matched.
Can a GST Council recommendation be applied directly?
No. Identify the implementing notification and commencement date.
Does a portal rate search replace classification?
No. It is an aid; the tariff, notification and evidence control the legal conclusion.
When should a rate page be indexed?
Only after exact current entry text, amendments, conditions, examples and reviewer approval are complete.
