Quick Summary

The Karnataka Authority for Advance Ruling (KAAR) has determined that concessional GST rates were not applicable to the manufacture and supply of Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK) until September 30, 2021. The ruling stated that FRK is considered 'goods' and not a 'food preparation' in itself, and since it wasn't supplied directly to consumers, the specific notification did not apply. However, an amendment from October 1, 2021, may make FRK supply eligible for concessional rates under certain conditions.
