Frequently Asked Questions
Why are clothes under ₹1000 taxed at 5% but above at 12%?
Government policy to make basic clothing affordable. Garment with selling price ≤ ₹1000 (per piece) = 5% GST. Above ₹1000 = 12%. So a ₹999 t-shirt is 5%, a ₹1001 t-shirt is 12% - small price differences can flip the rate.
Is silk taxed differently from cotton?
Yes - silk garments / fabrics typically face 12-18% GST (luxury treatment). Cotton garments under ₹1000 are 5%, above are 12%. Synthetic and blended fabrics fall under 12-18% depending on type. HSN codes distinguish raw fiber from yarn from fabric from finished garment.
