This notification amends Notification No. 1/2017–Integrated Tax (Rate) by inserting and revising entries across Schedule II (12%) and Schedule III (18%) covering items such as cartons and boxes of paperboard, milk cans, solar cookers, and related parts. It also inserts a proviso clarifying that agricultural farm produce supplied in packages exceeding 25 kg or 25 litres shall not be treated as “pre-packaged and labelled”. The amendments rationalise rates and remove interpretational ambiguity.
