It caused a lot of commentary on social media platforms when the Karnataka bench of Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR), stated that Parotas would be subject to a higher GST rate of 18%.
Some pointed out that if you compare the GST on Parotas and Rotis, it may get a tad difficult to choose between the two, not on the basis of price but the Goods Services Tax (GST) percentage imposed on them, separately.
Arguing that Parotas are heated before consumption, hence the tax, while Rotis are generic and all Indian bread cannot be categorized under it, the ruling concluded that Parotas should be charged with 18% GST.
One Twitter user said, “According to new GST ruling, Roti & Chapatti : 5% GST Tax, Porotta : 18% GST Tax. Kerala “Parota” is not “Roti” because unlike rotis which are ready to eat, Porotas need to be heated before consumption. The HEIGHTS of Indian Bureaucracy. #HandsOffPorotta”
