Dyeing and Printing Job Work GST Rate

Dyeing and printing job work: the code and the rate

Dyeing, printing, bleaching and finishing are textile finishing services, which the SAC list places under 998821. When the grey fabric belongs to a GST-registered trader, the process house's charge is job work in the 5% entry for textiles and textile products of chapters 50 to 63.

The dyes and chemicals a process house uses in the process are normally part of its job work charge, so the whole charge takes the job work rate. If you bill materials separately, check the treatment with your CA.

Process house bill: 10,000 metres at ₹9 per metre
