The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council has decided to impose 5% tax on pre-packaged and labelled form millet-based flour at its 52nd meeting held on October 07, 2023. The GST on food preparation of millet flour in powder form, containing at least 70% millets by weight, will be 0% when sold loose.
The council also decided to cut GST rate on molasses to 5 per cent from 28 per cent. This step will increase liquidity with mills and enable faster clearance of cane dues to sugarcane farmers. This will also lead to reduction in cost for manufacture of cattle feed as molasses is also an ingredient in its manufacture.
GST Council recommended to keep Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) used for manufacture of alcoholic liquor for human consumption outside GST, while ENA for industrial use will be taxed at 18 per cent.
