Hey! Here are the typical **VAT rates for Maharashtra (as of around 2009)** on your listed items. Please note rates may have changed since then, so itโs good to verify latest rates from the Maharashtra Commercial Taxes Department:

Noodles | 5% (commonly treated as processed food) | | 2. Sevai | 5% | | 3. Soup Powder | 12.5% (usually classified under spices/prepared food products) | | 4. Potato Chips (Uncooked) | 5% or 12.5% depending on classification (if raw potatoes, exempt or low rate; if processed chips, then 12.5%) |

### Tips:
* **VAT rates vary depending on whether the product is considered raw material, processed food, or packaged goods.** * Maharashtra VAT schedule and notifications would give the exact current rates. * For precise info, check Maharashtra VAT online portal or consult a local tax expert.
