₹1,000: GST exclusive vs inclusive

	₹1,000 + GST	₹1,000 incl. GST
Price before GST	₹1,000	₹892.86
GST @ 12%	₹120	₹107.14
Total	₹1,120	₹1,000

Exclusive (adding GST): GST = ₹1,000 × 12 ÷ 100 = ₹120.
Inclusive (removing GST): base = ₹1,000 × 100 ÷ 112 = ₹892.86; GST = ₹1,000 − ₹892.86 = ₹107.14.

CGST, SGST and IGST split

Within a state, the 12% is split equally into CGST and SGST (UTGST in union territories without a legislature) at 6% each. On a sale to another state, or an import, the full 12% is charged as IGST.

	₹1,000 + GST	₹1,000 incl. GST
CGST @ 6%	₹60	₹53.57
SGST / UTGST @ 6%	₹60	₹53.57
or IGST @ 12%	₹120	₹107.14

The 12% slab before 22 September 2025

Before 22 September 2025, 12% applied to items such as packaged foods, many medicines, bicycles, tractors and hotel rooms up to ₹7,500. GST 2.0 removed the 12% slab for most goods and services, moving them mainly to 5% (some to nil or 18%). Use these figures for invoices dated before 22 September 2025, and for credit notes or returns that relate to that period.

The rate for a particular item depends on its HSN code (goods) or SAC code (services), so confirm it in the CBIC rate notifications before you invoice.
