Dabur's Hajmola Under GST Scanner: Will It Be Taxed at 12% or 18% GST?

Dabur's popular digestive tablet, Hajmola, has come under the scrutiny of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) authorities, leading to uncertainty about its applicable tax rate. The central issue is whether Hajmola should be classified under the 12% GST slab or the higher 18% slab. This classification depends on whether it is considered primarily as a digestive aid (potentially falling under a lower rate) or as a confectionery/food preparation (attracting a higher rate). The differing interpretations have prompted a closer examination by tax officials. A final determination on the GST rate for Hajmola could have a significant impact on its pricing and market competitiveness. Other similar Ayurvedic and digestive products might also face similar scrutiny depending on this ruling.
