Look up the HSN code and GST rate of any medicine from a 2,54,034-medicine catalog, or compute the CGST/SGST split for any billing amount. Free, no sign-up.
Type a brand or generic name — e.g. "Dolo 650", "Azithromycin", "Pan 40".
Enter an amount, pick the GST rate, and choose whether the amount already includes GST (like an MRP) or not.

CGST/SGST split applies to intra-state sales (the usual case at a retail counter). Inter-state sales charge the full rate as IGST instead.
Most medicines sold at a retail pharmacy fall under HSN 3004 ("medicaments in measured doses or retail packings") and attract 5% GST. The 5% is split on an intra-state invoice as 2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST.
The 12% slab no longer exists. Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), issued 17 September 2025 and effective 22 September 2025 after the 56th GST Council, replaced the earlier schedules. Drugs and medicines that used to sit at 12% — including ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha and homoeopathic medicaments under HSN 3003 and 3004 — moved to 5%. If your product master still carries 12% on those lines it is charging customers on a repealed rate.
Common exceptions: some medical devices, diagnostics and consumables are taxed at 18%, and a notified list of life-saving drugs is nil-rated.
Remember that the printed MRP on a medicine strip is inclusive of all taxes — when you sell at MRP, GST is extracted from within that price, which is what the "Including GST" mode above computes.
Most medicines fall under HSN 3004 and attract 5% GST. The 12% slab was withdrawn with effect from 22 September 2025 (Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), after the 56th GST Council), and drugs and medicines that sat at 12% — ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha and homoeopathic medicaments included — moved to 5%. Some devices, diagnostics and consumables are 18%, and a notified list of life-saving drugs is nil-rated. Confirm against the current CBIC notification before filing.
A brand name has no HSN code of its own. Classification follows composition and form, so a branded tablet and its generic equivalent carry the same code and the brand never changes the rate. In this catalog Pan-D Capsule PR and Zerodol-SP Tablet both sit under HSN 3004 at 5% — where almost every tablet, capsule, syrup and injection on a retail shelf sits. The exceptions are the edges of the shop: surgical and dressing goods, diagnostics and devices, and products classified as cosmetics or food supplements rather than medicaments. Look your brand up above, then confirm against the CBIC schedule before using it in a filing.
HSN 3004 covers medicaments for therapeutic or prophylactic use put up in measured doses or retail packings — in practice, most tablets, capsules, syrups and injections at a retail counter. Under the current schedule, HSN 3004 items are generally taxed at 5%.
For an intra-state sale, the GST amount splits equally into CGST and SGST. Example: 5% on a ₹200 taxable value is ₹10 tax, invoiced as ₹5 CGST + ₹5 SGST. Inter-state sales charge the whole amount as IGST.
On the actual transaction value (selling price after discounts), not the printed MRP. MRP in India is tax-inclusive, so selling at MRP means the GST is extracted from within that price — use the "Including GST" mode above for that.
Nesayo looks up the HSN and GST rate for each line item from a maintained medicine catalogue, so a bill does not need the rate typed by hand, and it generates GST-ready invoices and exports GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. Catalogue rates are advisory, not CDSCO-authoritative — the same disclaimer as above applies to what ships on a bill, and any rate can be corrected by hand at billing time. Billing is free forever; the Full plan is ₹549/month as of October 2026.
