GST new rate list from today

GST New Rate list September 22, 2025: The new Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate list came into effect from midnight today. As per the revised GST structure announced earlier this month by the GST council, nearly 400 goods and services, including food items, automobiles, electronics, medicines, and insurance will become cheaper from today. From food and insurance to cars, electronics, medicines, and hotel stays, consumers will see reduced tax on a wide range of goods and services. New GST Rates in India from todayThe GST Council’s reform has reduced the earlier four-slab structure to just two rates, 5 per cent and 18 per cent. A special 40 per cent rate will continue to apply to a limited set of luxury and sin goods. Most household items, cars, two-wheelers, and televisions will now attract lower tax. Several food items such as roti, parantha, paneer, and khakra have been moved to the nil or 0 per cent bracket. Health and life insurance premiums are exempt from GST under the new regime. However, not all goods have become cheaper. For instance, clothes priced above Rs 2,500 will now attract 18 per cent GST compared to the earlier 12 per cent. Some other categories also fall under higher tax rates.New GST Rates 2025 Full List of Items in 0%, 5%, 18% & 40% Tax Slabs0% or NIL GST rate: Full ListUltra-High Temperature (UHT) milkPaneer or Chena, pre-packaged and labelledPizza breadKhakhra, chapathi or rotiParatha, parotta and other Indian breads by any name calledDrugs and medicines like Agalsidase Beta, Imiglucerase, Eptacog alfa activated recombinant coagulation factor VIIa, Onasemnogene abeparvovecErasersUncoated paper and paperboard used for exercise book, graph book, laboratory notebook and notebooksExercise book, graph book, & laboratory note book and notebooksMaps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases, wall maps, topographical plans and globes, printedPencil sharpenersAll individual health insurance and reinsurance (life, health)5% New GST rate: Full ListCondensed milkButter and other fats (i.e. ghee, butter oil, etc.) and oils derived from milk CheeseBrazil nuts Other nuts, dried, whether or not shelled or peeled, such as Almonds, Hazelnuts or filberts (Corylus spp.), Chestnuts (Castanea spp.), Pistachios, Macadamia nuts, Kola nuts (Cola spp.), Pine nutsDates (soft or hard), figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes (other than mangoes sliced, dried) and mangosteens, driedCitrus fruit, such as Oranges, Mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas);
