03 August 2025 As of **13 October 2015**, under the **Rajasthan VAT Act, 2003**, the **VAT rate applicable to iron bars and rods** for a **proprietary concern** (or any dealer) was:

---

### ✅ **VAT Rate: 5%**

#### 📌 Covered Under:

* **Schedule III** of the Rajasthan VAT Act, 2003
* Entry: **“Iron and steel as described in clause (iv) of section 14 of the CST Act, 1956”**

This included:

* **Iron bars, rods, flats, angles, channels, etc.**
* As long as they were **not further processed** (like galvanizing, fabrication, etc.)

---

### 🧾 Notes:

* This **5% rate** was uniform for all dealers—whether **proprietary, partnership, or corporate**—as VAT was based on **goods classification**, not business type.
* If **fabrication or value addition** was done (e.g., converting rods into fabricated structures), higher rates could apply.

---

### ✅ CST Rate (if selling outside Rajasthan):

* **2% CST** against **C Form**
* Otherwise, standard VAT rate (5%) if no C Form provided.

---

Let me know if you need a scanned copy of **Schedule III of Rajasthan VAT Act** or a link to an archived official notification.
