In India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) generally applies to food items. Most staple food items like grains, pulses, and fresh fruits and vegetables are tax-exempt. However, processed foods and restaurant services can attract GST rates from 5% to 18%, depending on the type and service level. Enjoy your meal without worrying too much about the tax, unless you're dining in a fancy place!
Been there, eaten that! In India, simple staples are usually tax-free, but eating out could cost you an extra 5-18% in GST. So plan your munchies accordingly!
