How to use this page

Find the GST rate. See the law behind it. is most useful when you first identify the transaction or procedural trigger, then match the statutory provision/form to the correct tax period and portal step. Keep the notice, return, invoice or application data tied to the exact GSTIN and period.

Practical checklist

Worked use case

Example: if two periods or two GSTINs are involved, prepare separate fact packs before using the form/provision. That prevents a correct legal rule from being applied to the wrong registration or tax period.

What this repository covers

The Finin2min accuracy method

1. Classification

Search by exact tariff code, product facts, composition, process and use. Chapter guidance never becomes a chapter-wide rate.

2. Legal rate layer

Apply the current notification serial, effective date, packaging/value/end-use conditions, exemption and amendment chain.

3. Transaction layer

Test place of supply, valuation, composite or mixed supply, reverse charge, ECO liability, ITC and compensation cess separately.

GST rate, HSN and SAC questions

Search-focused answers are visible below and mirrored exactly in FAQ structured data.

How to use the HSN/SAC finder safely

A keyword match is a classification lead, not a final GST rate conclusion. Classify the supply first, then verify the description, HSN/SAC, packaging/condition language, exemption entry and effective notification before using a rate.

Decision checklist

Primary checkpoint: CBIC GST goods/services rates. The finder remains decision support and should not override the tariff/notification text.

Methodology, assumptions and sources

Scope: Helps locate the applicable HSN (goods) or SAC (services) classification code and the corresponding GST rate for a described item, based on the notified GST rate schedule.

Calculation logic

  1. Match the entered description/keyword against the tool's reference dataset of HSN/SAC codes and their currently notified GST rates, built from the CBIC rate schedule notifications.
  2. Display the matched code(s), description and applicable CGST/SGST/IGST rate, along with the specific rate-notification reference where available.
  3. Where multiple plausible matches exist (common for descriptions that span several HSN chapters), show the candidate matches for the user to select the one that precisely fits their goods/service.
