It includes Chena or paneer (non pre-packaged)
Yes. When Chena or paneer (non pre-packaged) is not fresh/chilled and is sold in pre‑packaged & labelled packs, GST is 5%. If it is not pre‑packaged & labelled, it stays Nil.
Under HSN 04069000, Chena or paneer (non pre-packaged) attracts TBD subject to its exact form and packaging. Use the correct HSN and describe the form clearly on the invoice.
If your outward supply is taxable (e.g., 5% or 12%), eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply TBD for Chena or paneer (non pre-packaged) and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.
Exports are zero‑rated. Imports may draw customs duties; domestic GST follows the schedule for the item’s form/packaging.
