             Here is a summary of the changes:
- 
Standard Foods: Many ready-to-eat and pre-packaged food preparations, including snacks like "namkeen" and "bhujia," have been moved to the 5% GST slab. This is a key change aimed at making daily essentials more affordable. 
- 
Pan Masala and Sin Goods: The new 40% GST slab, which is an increase from the previous 28%, applies to "sin goods" and luxury items. This includes products like pan masala, which are also subject to a cess. 
Since HSN code 210690 is a broad category, the exact rate depends on the specific item.
