The implementation of GST in India has led to changes in the prices of various commodities, including domestic cooking gas. All domestic LPG cylinders, including Bharat Gas cylinders, are now subject to a 5% GST levy. This implies that the price you pay for your Bharat Gas cylinder includes a 5% GST charge. Prior to the introduction of GST, certain states did not impose taxes on cooking gas, rendering it tax-free in those regions.
