20 April 2021 With All due respect to Expert , I would like to add something more to the Answer

Exempt Supply means supply of any goods or services or both which attracts nil rated of tax or which may be wholly exempt under section 11, or under section 6 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, and includes Non- Taxable supply.

Nil rated supply is nowhere defined in GST Law. The basic difference between nil rated and exempt supply is that the goods/services have GST Rate higher than 0% in case of exempt supply. But there is no tax on such goods/services due to exemption notification.

Whereas in case of NIL rated supply, the tariff is at NIL rate so there is no tax without the exemption notification.

Notification No.1/2017-Central Tax (Rate) deals with CGST Rate for Goods & this Notification does not include any Goods with Tariff Rate as Zero

Notification No.2/2017-Central Tax (Rate) deals with CGST exempt goods notified under section 11 (1)

Hope your Query is Resolved and you have clear picture of the Exempted Goods & Nil Rated Goods
