Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has clarified key GST concerns raised in the Lok Sabha regarding taxation on essential dairy and school items.
🥛 No GST on Milk
✔ Fresh milk remains fully exempt from GST.
✔ No change in tax treatment on basic milk consumption.
🎓 No GST on Education
✔ Core education services are GST exempt.
✔ School education remains outside the GST net.
✏ GST on School Materials – Clarification
Some processed or packaged school-related products may attract GST depending on classification. However:
✔ Essential educational services – Exempt
✔ Basic necessities – Mostly Nil or low rate
✔ Certain dairy items have seen rate rationalisation/reduction in past GST Council decisions
📌 Key Takeaway
There is no GST on milk and education services. Public concerns largely arise due to classification differences between raw and packaged/processed goods.
