Hi Ravinder!

The sale of printed books like the Bhagavad Gita is exempt from GST under the GST law.

• Printed books (including religious texts like Bhagavad Gita) fall under HSN 4901.

• As per Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017, the supply of printed books is exempt from GST.

So, GST rate = 0% (Exempted).
