₹900 is not more than ₹2,500 a piece, so 5% applies.

Conditions and notes

The ₹2,500 test is on the sale value of each piece before GST (the transaction value), not the MRP and not the bill total.
A piece at exactly ₹2,500 is still 5%: the notification says "not exceeding".
Handmade or hand-embroidered shawls (6117, 6214) sold as handicraft goods are 5% at any price. Whether a hand-embroidered dupatta counts as a shawl here is not settled: check with your CA.
Fabric sold off the roll by the metre is fabric (5% at any price), not a dupatta.

How to use it

Search "dupatta", "stole" or "shawl".
Enter the sale value of one piece before GST to see 5% or 18%.
If it is handmade, check the handicraft note on the card.

Dupatta: the code and the rate

Heading 6214 covers shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like, and dupattas, chunnis and stoles belong to that family. Knitted ones go to 6117, knitted clothing accessories. Both headings are in chapters 61 and 62, so the garment rule applies: 5% up to ₹2,500 per piece and 18% above.

Two exceptions are worth knowing. Fabric sold off the roll by the metre is fabric, at 5% at any price. And under the handicraft notification, handmade or hand-embroidered shawls of 6117 and 6214 are 5% at any price. Whether a hand-embroidered dupatta counts as a "shawl" there is not settled, so ask your CA before relying on it.
