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".
The 4-digit heading depends on the cut, but the rate rule is the same for all of them.

Official description: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories: chapter 62 if woven, chapter 61 if knitted or crocheted.

How to use it

Search "kurti" and check the heading that fits your cut and fabric.
Enter the sale value of one piece before GST.
Read the rate (5% or 18%) and the GST, split into CGST and SGST.

Kurti: the code and the rate

A kurti is an article of apparel: chapter 62 if woven and chapter 61 if knitted. Shirt-style kurtis fit 6206 (women's blouses and shirts), while long anarkali styles and kurta sets fit 6204 (women's dresses and ensembles). The knitted equivalents are 6106 and 6104.

Whatever the heading, one rule sets the rate. Since 22 September 2025, garments with a sale value up to ₹2,500 per piece are 5% and those above ₹2,500 are 18%. Before that the limit was ₹1,000 with 12% above it, so kurtis between ₹1,000 and ₹2,500 got cheaper, while those above ₹2,500 now carry more tax.

FAQ

Questions

What is the HSN code for kurti?

6206 for a woven shirt-style kurti, 6204 for a woven dress, anarkali or kurta set, and 6106 or 6104 for knitted kurtis. The GST rule is the same for all of them.

Is GST on a ₹2,500 kurti 5% or 18%?

5%. The notification says "not exceeding Rs. 2500 per piece", so exactly ₹2,500 is still 5%: ₹125 of GST. At ₹2,501 the rate becomes 18%.

Is the ₹2,500 limit on the MRP or on the selling price?

On the sale value: the transaction value of each piece before GST, not the MRP. A wholesaler selling a kurti at ₹1,800 charges 5% even if the retailer later sells it at ₹3,000, when the retailer charges 18%.

What was the GST on kurtis before 22 September 2025?

5% up to ₹1,000 per piece and 12% above it. Now it is 5% up to ₹2,500 and 18% above.

Do I charge 18% if a customer buys three ₹1,200 kurtis?

No. The test is per piece, not per bill. Each kurti is ₹1,200, so all three are 5%: ₹180 of GST on ₹3,600.
