GST on medicines in India — quick guide

Most allopathic medicines sold at a retail pharmacy fall under HSN 3004 ("medicaments in measured doses or retail packings") and attract 5% GST, as per the 56th GST Council (September 2025). The 5% is split on an intra-state invoice as 2.5% CGST + 2.5% SGST.

Common exceptions:

Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha and homoeopathic medicaments are commonly taxed around 12%. Some medical devices and consumables (certain diagnostics, equipment, wellness items) attract 18%. A small notified list of life-saving drugs is taxed at 0%.

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.

Disclaimer: This tool is informational only and is not tax, legal, or accounting advice. HSN codes and GST rates in the catalog are advisory — verify the HSN classification and current rate against CBIC notifications (cbic-gov.in) before using them in GST filings. Rates shown reflect the schedule after the 56th GST Council (September 2025) and may change.

Frequently asked questions

What is the GST rate on medicines in India?

Most allopathic medicines fall under HSN 3004 and attract 5% GST, per the 56th GST Council (September 2025). Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha and homoeopathic medicaments are commonly around 12%, some devices and consumables are 18%, and a notified list of life-saving drugs is 0%. Confirm against the current CBIC notification before filing.

What is HSN code 3004?

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%.

How is GST split into CGST and SGST?

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.

Is GST calculated on MRP or on the selling price?

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.
