Quick Summary
This discussion explores the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicable to restaurants in India. It clarifies that restaurants typically fall under the 18% GST rate with Input Tax Credit (ITC) in the normal scheme, or a 5% GST rate without ITC under the composition scheme. The consensus leans towards the composition scheme being more beneficial for most restaurants, especially those serving unregistered customers, due to its simpler structure and lower rate. However, the suitability of the composition scheme might change if the establishment also offers lodging and accommodation.

In case of Restraunt -In Normal case rate is 18% with ITC
In Composition case rate is 5% without ITC
Normal scheme aur composition scheme dono me kaun si scheme best hai
According to me, composition scheme is best for restaurant, if you are mostly supplying to the unregistered person.
GST with 5% is more suitable for Restaurant service.
Mostly Restaurant services come under Composition scheme with GST rate @ 5% without ITC.

There is no such compulsion to opt for composition scheme.

As per sec 10 of CGST ACT 2017

A REGISTERED PERSON MAY OPT FOR COMPOSITION SCHEME PROVIDING RESTAURANT SERVICES SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

Thanks!
Acc to me, Composition scheme is beneficial for restaurants , as mostly restaurants are adopting this option
But what if the owner is also providing lodging and accomodation facility ? rooms and restaurant together ?
