The GST rates in India

From 22 September 2025, GST has two main rates, 5% and 18%, plus 40% for a short list of luxury and sin goods. The 12% and 28% rates were removed. The GST Council meeting on 8 October 2026 did not change these slabs.

  • 0%: Nil: fresh food, milk, many life-saving drugs, education and health services.
  • 5%: Merit rate: many daily-use items such as soap, toothpaste, packed food, medicines.
  • 18%: Standard rate: most goods and services, such as electronics, cars up to set sizes, cement, most services.
  • 40%: Special rate: luxury and sin goods such as pan masala, aerated drinks, large cars, yachts.
  • 3%: Gold, silver and jewellery.
  • 0.25%: Rough diamonds and certain precious stones.
  • 1.5%: Certain cut and polished diamonds and precious stones.

Always check the rate for your exact item or service (its HSN or SAC code) on the CBIC GST rates page.

How GST is added and removed

Add: GST = amount × rate ÷ 100

Remove: amount before GST = price × 100 ÷ (100 + rate)

For a sale inside one state, the GST is split equally between the Centre (CGST) and the state (SGST, or UTGST in a union territory). For a sale to another state, the whole amount is IGST.

Questions

Is GST on gold 3%?

Yes. Gold, silver and jewellery are taxed at 3%. Making charges billed separately as a job-work service can be taxed at a different rate.

What happened to the 12% and 28% slabs?

They were removed on 22 September 2025. Most 12% items moved to 5%, and most 28% items moved to 18%. A few, like pan masala and aerated drinks, moved to 40%. The old rates are kept here only for checking old bills.

Why does removing 18% from ₹118 give ₹100 and not ₹96.76?

Because the 18% was charged on the price before GST (₹100), not on ₹118. To take it out you divide by 1.18.
