Current legal position: Notification No. 9/2025-Integrated Tax (Rate), dated 17 September 2025, prescribes 5% IGST for goods specified in Schedule I. The corresponding intra-State rate is ordinarily 2.5% CGST plus 2.5% SGST/UTGST.
Effective date: the principal 2025 goods-rate rationalisation generally took effect from 22 September 2025. This is a statutory effective date and is intentionally retained. The webpage itself is updated as on 1 September 2026.
