HSN Code Nil Rated

📝 Overview of Schedule – Nil Rated (0% GST)

The Nil Rated Schedule includes goods and services that attract 0% GST. These typically consist of essential commodities like fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, salt, and educational materials. By assigning a zero tax rate, the government ensures these basic items remain affordable for all, supporting low-income groups and public welfare. Although no tax is charged, these goods are still recorded under GST filings, ensuring transparency in trade while minimizing the financial burden on the consumer.
