Exemption for sweet curd under GST: classification and naming determine whether curd is nil-rated or yogurt is taxable under GST.
Sweet curd falls within the Chapter/Heading 0403 grouping and is covered by the nil rate/exemption in the relevant GST rate notification, so sweetened curd is exempt. Product identification and classification are decisive: naming and labeling per classification rules are distinct from tariff scope, and where the product's character aligns with yogurt (a processed industrial product) it is taxable rather than exempt.
