Situation 1: Namkeen sold loose Situation 2: Namkeen sold in packaged form in transparent bag having no name of manufacturer Situation 3: Namkeen sold in packaged form in bags printed with firm name but trade mark not registered and not branded Situation 4: Namkeen sold in packaged form in bags printed with firm name with registered trade mark

12% GST applicable on all the above. 2106 90 Namkeens, bhujia, mixture, chabena and similar edible preparations in ready for consumption form.

Thanks Mr. SEETHARAMAN So as per your reply, no difference is made in branded and unbranded namkeens (it is there in Gujarat VAT. In Gujarat VAT, unbranded namkeen is exempt).
If all are covered under 12% then what is covered in "READY TO EAT PACAKGED FOOD AND MILK CONTAINING EDIBLE NUTS WITH SUGAR OR OTHER INGREDIENTS" under same HSN code which is taxable @ 18%
One more question: Does namkeen include kachori, samosa, wafer, and other similar items

What if the Maker and reseller of Namkeen and Sweets (Mitahi) wants to obtain Composition Scheme then Should he opt as manufacturer or Traders ?

But what if he do both activities i mean making mithai in own place (i.e. Manufacture) and reselling Namkin and all (i.e. Trading), in short he do both activities at one place in one GSTIN then in such case he should opt for 1% (trader) or 2%(Manufacturer) ? I have opted for them all in Manufacture i.e. in 2% in higher side. Whats your Views ?
