Dabur Faces GST Notice Over Hajmola Classification Dispute

Dabur Faces GST Notice Over Hajmola Classification Dispute

Imagine a company called Dabur makes a popular digestive candy called Hajmola.

The government is trying to figure out how much tax Dabur should pay on it.

They're asking if it's a candy, which has a higher tax, or a medicine, which has a lower tax.

It's like deciding if a snack or a medicine.

The tax people are investigating, and there have been arguments about this before.

Years ago, the courts said Hajmola was a medicine, like when deciding what to tax a donut as well.

This is important because it affects how much money the government gets.
