Most restaurants charge 5% GST and cannot claim input tax credit. A few, mainly those inside hotels with high room tariffs, charge 18% with credit. Here is how to tell which you are.
Standalone restaurants, cafés, and takeaways charge 5% without input tax credit. Restaurants in hotels where any room’s declared tariff is above ₹7,500 a night charge 18% with input tax credit. Outdoor catering follows its own rules.
Small restaurants can choose the composition scheme at 5% of turnover; they then issue a bill of supply and cannot charge GST to customers.
