Thus it includes the supply of different types of goods and services:

  • Non-taxable supply;
  • Supply attracting nil rate of tax;
  • Supplies exempt under Section 11 of the GST Act excluding IGST and under Section 6 of the IGST Act;

2. Nil Rated

Goods or services on which GST rate of 0% is applicable (The GST rate schedule 1) are called Nil Rated Goods or Services.

Example: Grains, Salt, Jaggery etc.

3. Zero Rated

Zero rated supplies includes

  • Export of goods or services or both to any other country outside India.
  • Supply of goods or services or both to SEZ / SEZ Developer.
