Citation :
Advance Ruling No. GUJ/GAAR/R/2022/54
One Prjajapati Keval Dineshbhai, who intended to make such snacks, submitted before the AAR that the products are unbranded and hence should be taxed at five per cent.
The GST rate for various products is set on the basis of the harmonised system nomenclature (HSN) code. The applicant said that namkeens fall under the code 210690 and hence would draw the five per cent GST.
The AAR observed that the term “namkeen” isn't defined under the CGST Act. Further, the applicant intends to supply the food products in packages, so they would be considered as pre-packaged and labelled.
The notification had amended the rates on July 18 last year and excluded pre-packaged and labelled products from the levy of five per cent GST, following a decision to this effect by the GST Council.The said products would attract a 12 per cent rate since.
The Gujarat Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has observed that 12% GST is applicable on salted and flavouring potato chips, chivda, sev, and hing bhujiya.
