Hardware trade: practical tips
GST rates
Most hardware, sanitary and electrical items are taxed at 18%. Under GST 2.0, cement moved from 28% to 18% from 22 September 2025. Check HSN codes for your categories. PIB source.
Set credit limits for contractors
Agree a credit limit and payment cycle with each contractor, and review outstanding every week. Stop credit when a contractor crosses the limit until they pay.
Organise stock by rack
Group fast-moving items near the counter and label racks. Combined with barcodes, it makes counting and billing faster.
