1. **Original Rate:**
- The standard VAT rate on food items, including farsan, has been historically set at 5% in Maharashtra.

2. **Change in Rate:**
- Any change in the VAT rate from 5% to 5.5% would typically be communicated through a government notification or amendment to the VAT Act.

3. **Effective Date:**
- If the rate change is effective from a specific date, such as April 1st, it would be mentioned in the relevant notification or amendment. The rate change would be applicable from the date specified in the notification.

### **Steps to Confirm the Current Rate:**

- Visit the official Maharashtra Sales Tax website or refer to the latest government notifications to confirm any recent changes in VAT rates.

2. **Consult MVAT Act or Rules:**
- Refer to the latest version of the Maharashtra VAT Act or related rules and amendments for the most accurate information.

3. **Contact Sales Tax Department:**
- Reach out to the Maharashtra Sales Tax Department for clarification on the current rate and its effective date.

4. **Review Updates from Reliable Sources:**
- Look for updates from reputable sources or tax consultants who regularly track changes in tax laws.

### **Example of Verification:**

If the rate was indeed changed to 5.5%, you would find it in a notification similar to this:
- **Notification Number:** (e.g., MVAT Notification No. XYZ/2023)
- **Effective Date:** April 1, 2024
- **Details:** The notification would specify the change in VAT rate for certain items, including farsan, from 5% to 5.5%.

### **Conclusion:**

To get the most accurate and updated information, consult the official Maharashtra Sales Tax resources or your tax advisor to verify the current VAT rate on farsan and its effective date.
