Panang kalkandu (mixed with seeni) rate of tax in GST?

Panang kalkandu, also known as palm sugar or kalkandu, is a type of sugar made from the sap of palm trees.

 When mixed with seeni, a type of sugar candy, the GST tax rate would fall under the category of sugar confectionery.

The GST tax rate for sugar confectionery, including items like mishri, batasha, bura, and sakar, is 5%.

 However, it's essential to note that this rate may not apply to all types of sugar confectionery, and specific products might have different tax rates. 

Panang kalkandu (palm sugar candy) is generally classifiable under HSN 1702 and taxable at 5% GST (2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST, or 5% IGST). If it is mixed with ordinary sugar, the rate can depend on the product’s composition, processing and correct HSN classification; check the label/specification before invoicing.

For a mixed-sugar product, keep the composition and classification basis on file with the GST item master. Manual HSN and rate checks across product variants are difficult, and automation can reduce repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
