From 22 September 2025, the GST rate on fly-ash bricks is 5% (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST, or 5% IGST), subject to the product being classified as fly-ash bricks under the applicable tariff entry. Reports of 12% may refer to the earlier rate or to a different kind of brick. For a defensible record, verify the rate against the relevant amendment to Notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as amended, and its corresponding IGST notification; news reports alone are not the legal source.
This rate check should be reflected consistently in product classification, invoicing and GST returns from the effective date. Manual rate updates across item masters and transactions are difficult, and automation can reduce repetitive work while leaving classification and review judgment with the professional.
