- GST is not leviable on the sale of unbranded/non packaged Broken Rice.
- The AAR, West Bengal, made this ruling based on a notification and press release regarding GST applicability on pre-packaged and labelled goods.
- The applicant in the case was involved in custom milling of paddy and sold the broken rice produced in an unbranded and unpackaged manner.
- The AAR held that the broken rice falls under the same rate as rice and is exempt from GST if sold in other than pre-packaged and labelled form.
- The applicant is only liable to pay tax if the broken rice is supplied in pre-packaged and labelled form.
