Question

Marked price of an electric iron is ₹5,200. A discount of 20% is offered on it and the GST being charged is 12%. What is the CGST (in ₹) being charged on the iron?

(Assume the sale to be intra-state)

• A. 249.6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 249.6
Marked price of the iron = ₹5200

Discount% = 20%

Discount

= $\frac{20}{100}\times 5200$ = ₹1040

Now, selling price = ₹5200 - ₹1040 = ₹4160

GST rate = 12%

$\Rightarrow$ CGST rate = 6%

$\therefore$ CGST to be paid = $\frac{6}{100}\times 4160$ = ₹249.6
