Dear Sir I used to run a boutique in gurgaon with 6workers on board, in my trade end customer use to bring his fabrics and we use to stich his clothes like kurties, blouses, salwar suits etc, Sir before our work is exempted from VAT now GST has been applicable in our work is 18% , but recently gov has declare cut on the GST rate of 18% to 5% in fabric job work, but there is a big confusion on this issue , Pls help me in clarify this issue, we use to do job work for end customer, customer brings the fabric and we stich them and return them the finished goods and charge them with a nominal rate, so are we applicable for 5% GST , Sir Pls help us in clarifying this issue, it is hitting our trade very much due to which we are on the verge to close our boutique as from zero tax to straight way 18% has hit our trade very badly, my service cost has risen very high due to which we are losing our customers day by day, 5% GST will be reasonable for us to have a healthy business , so Pls clarify my doubts on GST rate for stiching work on boutiques run for end customers .
