It is applicable to all , Sir. The levy is product specific and not business specific.

[KASTURI SETHI]

I agree with Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji. GST Compensation Cess is not applicable to those who have opted for composition scheme.

AI Summary

GST compensation cess applicability extends to all businesses dealing in specified goods, excluding composition scheme taxpayers.
GST compensation cess is a product-specific levy that applies to manufacturers, traders and distributors dealing in goods subject to the cess; applicability follows the product rather than the business status. Persons who have opted for the composition scheme are excluded from GST compensation cess liability while under that scheme.
