Questions people ask
What is the GST rate on sanitary pads?
0%, which means no GST is charged on it at all.
How much GST is inside a ₹2,000 purchase?
None. At 0% the whole ₹2,000 is the price of the goods.
Did the GST on sanitary pads change?
The rate here is from the GST 2.0 schedule that took effect on 22 September 2025, which reorganised the rate slabs.
Is the GST added at the counter or already in the price?
Already in it. Retail prices in India are quoted inclusive of GST, so the tax is part of the figure on the label rather than something added to it.
