Quick Summary
Selling 10kg packages of palm jaggery, even without labels, makes a dealer liable for GST. GST applies to the supply of food items like jaggery, and packaged goods are considered a taxable supply. If your annual turnover exceeds the GST registration threshold (Rs. 40 lakhs or Rs. 20 lakhs for special category states), you must register. Even if unregistered, GST is payable on sales, though it may not be passed to customers. Compliance includes issuing invoices, filing returns, and paying GST, alongside adhering to food safety and metrology labelling laws. Consulting a tax professional is advised.
