GST Breakthrough for Agro-Textiles Geo-Membrane Waterproof Liners Classified as Technical Fabric: AAR

The GST Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) has classified geo-membrane waterproof liners—used in agro-textile applications—as technical fabrics. This classification entitles them to concessional GST rates applicable to technical fabrics, offering significant cost relief to manufacturers and users in sectors like agriculture, construction, and packaging. It reflects the evolving GST regime's sensitivity toward industrial uses and component specifications.
