Frozen Parathas 'Quite Different' From Rotis, To Attract 18% GST (Tax)
Packed, frozen paratha 'quite different' from roti/chapatti; attracts 18% tax If you often prefer frozen parathas over chapatti or rotis, you will have to shell out more money. While a chapati attracts 5 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST), frozen parathas are subject to 18 per cent GST. The company submitted that it makes a total of eight varieties of parathas, including mixed vegetables, Malabar, and plain, where the primary ingredient for each is wheat flour. Hence, it claimed that they should fall in the same GST slab as rotis, the report added. However, GAAAR, upholding an order of the Gujarat Authority of Advance Ruling, stated that “the parathas supplied by the appellant are different from plain chapati or roti and cannot be treated as or covered under the category of plain chapati or roti and appropriate classification of parathas would be under Chapter heading 2106”. The June order, by the GAAR, highlighted that packaged or frozen parathas must be cooked for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown. Source: NDTV #FrozenParathas
