The GST rate on my product changed on 22 September 2025. What do I do about my MRP, labels and listings?
Start by checking your HSN code's rate after 22 September 2025, because GST 2.0 moved most goods to 5% or 18% and many food, FMCG and personal-care items came down. If your rate fell, the cut has to reach the customer: lower the MRP and your selling price on your site, marketplaces and quick-commerce listings by the tax difference, and no more than that if it went up. For stock packed before that date the government allowed revised MRP stickers or stamps until 31 December 2025, with the original MRP left visible; that window has closed, so anything packed now needs the correct MRP printed. Update billing, invoices and marketplace price files in the same week, since a listing still showing the old price is what customers screenshot.
