The central government amends the integrated tax rate notification to substitute a new tariff table extending concessional IGST rates on specified handicraft goods, largely at 5% and certain handcrafted/imitative jewellery items at 3%, covering categories such as handcrafted candles, bags, carved wood, paper and textile crafts, metal, stone, ceramic and glass artware, handmade carpets, embroidered articles, toys, paintings and original sculptures.
