The DGGI (Directorate General of GST Intelligence) is reportedly probing Dabur's Hajmola to determine its correct GST classification, specifically whether it should be taxed as an Ayurvedic medicine or as candy. The difference in classification would result in different GST rates. The investigation aims to ensure that the product is taxed under the appropriate category based on its ingredients, usage, and regulatory status.
