HSN / SAC & GST rate finder — type the item

Goods carry HSN, services carry SAC; both decide the rate on your invoice. This finder has every item whose rate changed on 22 September 2025 (from the Council’s own list) plus the everyday goods that did not.

Search by name or code. Results show the current rate; "was" is the rate before 22 Sep 2025. Click a row to copy the code.

The rules this finder applies

Four rates since 22 September 2025: Nil, 5% (merit), 18% (standard), 40% (de-merit) — plus 3% on gold/silver jewellery, 1.5% on cut diamonds and 0.25% on rough stones. The 12% and 28% slabs are gone; cigarettes and pan masala stay at 28% + cess until the 40% date is notified.
Pre-packaged and labelled is the line for many foods: loose rice, dal, curd, paneer are nil; the same item packed and labelled is 5% (UHT milk and packaged paneer are now nil).
Price thresholds: apparel and footwear ≤ ₹2,500 per piece/pair are 5%, above that 18%; quilts and made-ups follow the same ₹2,500 line.
Digits on the invoice: 4 digits for turnover up to ₹5 crore (B2B), 6 above; HSN for goods, SAC (99xxxx) for services.
Wrong code, right rate is a minor error; wrong rate is short payment with interest — when in doubt between two entries, the more specific description wins (Rule 3, General Interpretative Rules).
