hi,

[Sadanand Bulbule]

As per GST law, job work services fall under Heading 9988. The GST rate on job work relating to manufacture of footwear is 12% (6% CGST + 6% SGST), as notified vide Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as amended.

Therefore, when you send raw materials and the job worker manufactures shoes for you, the job worker is liable to charge 12% GST on his job work charges.

However in GST-02, this gets amended with effect from 22/09/2025.

Considering you are registered under GST, job work will be 12% presently.

From 22nd Sep 25 it would become 18% unless it falls under below in which case it will be 5%

Job work services where raw materials are supplied and a job worker manufactures footwear are taxable and the job worker must charge GST at the currently notified rate for footwear job work; a forthcoming amendment revises the general rate, while job work connected to hides, skins and leather under Chapter 41 is subject to a lower notified rate and remains an exception.
