<h1>Government-owned dairy subsidiary to pass GST cuts from Sept 22: UHT milk and paneer tax zero, most items at 5%</h1> A government-owned dairy subsidiary announced it will pass on recent GST rate cuts to consumers from September 22, lowering tax on UHT milk and paneer to zero and moving most other dairy and processed food items into a 5% slab from prior higher rates; everyday poly pack milk remains GST-exempt. The company listed retail price cuts for specific SKUs (e.g., 1L toned tetra pack, 450ml double-toned UHT, 200g paneer, 1L ghee carton, 100g butter) and said the revision aligns its portfolio with exempt/nil or lowest-slab treatment, expecting demand, consumer affordability, and farmer benefits.
