₹4,500 is more than ₹2,500 a piece, so 18% 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".
  • For a set sold as one item (lehenga, choli and dupatta together), check with your CA whether the ₹2,500 test applies to the set or to each piece.

How to use it

  1. Search "lehenga" or "chaniya choli".

  2. Enter the sale value of the piece before GST.

  3. See whether 5% or 18% applies, with CGST and SGST.

Lehenga choli: the code and the rate

Heading 6204 covers women's or girls' suits, ensembles, dresses and skirts, not knitted. A lehenga (skirt) with its choli fits there; knitted versions go to 6104. The rate follows the garment rule: 5% up to ₹2,500 per piece and 18% above.

Navratri chaniya cholis often sell on both sides of that line, so the value per piece matters. For a set sold as one item, check with your CA whether the ₹2,500 test applies to the set or to each piece, and bill the same way every time.
