Ravi Traders, Pune, a registered supplier, sold goods to Mehta Stores, Pune, for Rs 2,00,000 (excluding tax). The goods are taxable at 18% GST. Both parties are in Maharashtra. What is the total GST charged on this supply and under which heads?

GST is Rs 36,000 in total, split as Rs 18,000 CGST and Rs 18,000 SGST. The supply is intra-State, so the 18% rate is divided equally into 9% CGST and 9% SGST, each charged on the Rs 2,00,000 taxable value.

  1. ARs 36,000 as IGST
  2. BRs 18,000 CGST and Rs 18,000 SGSTCorrect
  3. CRs 36,000 as CGST and Rs 36,000 as SGST
  4. DRs 18,000 as CGST only

Explanation

This is an intra-State supply, so CGST and SGST apply, each at half the 18% rate, i.e. 9%. 9% of Rs 2,00,000 = Rs 18,000 each, total Rs 36,000. Charging IGST would be wrong because location of supplier and place of supply are in the same State.
