Zero-rated goods- These goods include exports and supplies to SEZ or SEZ developers. ITC can be claimed on these. Taxes paid on these goods are refunded.
Nil rated goods- Goods having a 0% GST. ITC cannot be claimed on these goods.
Exempted goods- These goods are either fully exempt or partially exempt. So simplifying it, a tax rate is applicable on these goods. CBIC issues a notification to exempt their taxability. ITC cannot be claimed.
