Dear Sir,
As Mehandi and Mehandi Cone is derived from Henna Plant hence both should be considered as Vegetable product.
Also it is covered under Agro Industry which again denotes the same that both the products is a Vegetable product.
With the above two definitions both should clearly come under HSN 1404.
Can you please help me in getting the actual GST Rate on these products as it is not mentioned clearly anywhere and I am finding it difficult to deal with it.
With Regards,
ShubhaDeep Roy
GST Rate Confusion: Mehandi and Mehandi Cone Classified as Vegetable Products Under HSN 1404, Attracting 2.5% Rate A discussion on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for Mehandi and Mehandi Cone, derived from the Henna plant, highlights confusion over their classification. The original query suggests they should be classified as vegetable products under HSN 1404. A response refers to Notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate), suggesting they attract a GST rate of 2.5% as they are unspecified vegetable products. Another reply notes that betel leaves under the same heading attract a 'Nil' rate. Supporting comments and references to pre-GST case law affirm the classification under HSN 1404. (AI Summary)
