This includes cooking gas, which is subject to a 5% GST charge for the first 12 subsidized cylinders and an 18% GST charge for non-subsidized cylinders. Before the introduction of GST, some states in India did not impose taxes on cooking gas, making it tax-free in those states. However, with the implementation of GST, cooking gas is now subject to taxes in all states.
