thanks for the reply sir. but i came across the below quote as well, so please kindly clarify.

All businesses and individuals who are registered under the Composition Scheme are required to pay a GST rate of 1% to 6% depending on the type of business activity conducted by the registered person or business entity.

The applicable composition scheme GST rate features equal SGST/UGST and CGST split i.e. 1% GST = 0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST/UGST, 6% GST = 3% SGST/UGST + 3% CGST. The composition levy rates under GST are as follows:

1% of the turnover for traders and other suppliers eligible for composition scheme registration
2% of the turnover for manufacturers apart from manufacturers of products not eligible for GST composition scheme.
5% of the turnover for restaurant services
6% of the turnover for businesses providing services/mixed services (other than restaurant services). "

As per Rule 7 R/w Notification 50/2020 CT (w.e.f 1/4/20) For Manufacturers & Traders the rate is 1% on Turnover.

Note : 1% need to pay on exempted supply also in case of Manufacturer.
