Tobacco pre-mixed with lime undergoes a manufacturing process involving mixing of lime paste, evaporation of water content, and addition of aroma, menthol, and moisturizer, resulting in a new product distinct from raw tobacco leaves. This process transforms the raw material into a marketable/consumable product for chewing needs, classifying it as "manufactured chewing tobacco" under CTH 2403 99 10. Consequently, the applicable GST rate is 28%, and the Compensation Cess rate is 160% as per Notification No. 1/2017-Compensation Cess (R). The ruling relies on the Supreme Court's decision in State of Madras Vs Bell mark Tobacco Company, which held that the cumulative effect of various processes on tobacco amounts to a manufacturing process.
