Recent Amendment – 56th GST Council Meeting (September 2025)

In the 56th GST Council Meeting held on 3rd September 2025, the Council recommended rationalization of GST rates under Chapter 94 (Furniture, Bedding, Mattresses, Lighting Fittings, and Prefabricated Buildings).

Subsequently, the Government issued Notification No. 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), dated 17th September 2025, which supersedes the earlier Notification No. 01/2017-Central Tax (Rate).

The revised rates are:

18% GST Slab

  • 9401 [other than 9401 10 00] – Seats (other than those of heading 9402), whether or not convertible into beds, and parts thereof including seats for motor vehicles, but excluding aircraft seats.
  • 9402 – Medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture including hospital beds, dentists’ and barbers’ chairs, and parts thereof.
  • 9403 – Other furniture (other than bamboo, cane, or rattan furniture) and parts thereof.
  • 9404 – Mattress supports; bedding and similar furnishings (mattresses, quilts, cushions, pillows, etc.), other than coir products, quilted textile materials not exceeding ₹2500, and cotton quilts not exceeding ₹2500 per piece.
  • 9405 – Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights, illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates, and parts thereof (excluding hurricane lanterns, kerosene lamps, petromax, and their parts).
  • 9406 – Prefabricated buildings.

5% GST Slab

  • 9403 – Furniture wholly made of bamboo, cane, or rattan.
  • 9404 – Coir products (except coir mattresses).
  • 9404 – Products wholly made of quilted textile materials not exceeding ₹2500 per piece.
  • 9404 – Cotton quilts not exceeding ₹2500 per piece.
  • 9401 10 00 – Aircraft seats.
  • 9405 – Hurricane lanterns, kerosene lamps/pressure lanterns, petromax, glass chimneys, and their parts.

 

Conclusion

The GST rates under Chapter 94 have been streamlined after the 56th GST Council Meeting (September 2025) and Notification No. 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate).

  • Essential items such as cotton quilts (up to ₹2500), coir products, bamboo/cane/rattan furniture, and hurricane lanterns attract a concessional rate of 5%.
  • Most standard goods including furniture (other than bamboo/cane/rattan), mattresses, bedding, luminaires, lighting fittings, medical furniture, and prefabricated buildings are now taxed at a uniform rate of 18%.
  • Luxury category such as motor vehicle seats continues to remain in the 28% bracket.
