Overview — what you must know

GST Update – Starting 22nd September 2025

The government is updating GST rates from 22-Sep-2025. To keep Marg ERP billing smooth, update rates before making new bills. No automatic update — manual changes required. Ask suppliers/manufacturers for exact rates where uncertain.

Backup first: Save a full backup of Marg ERP data.
Bulk mapping: Most users should change 12% to 5% first. Keep 5% & 18% largely unchanged. Review 28% items separately.
Manual exceptions: Some life-saving drugs may be Nil (0%); cosmetics/nutraceuticals may need manual review.

Step 1 — Bulk Mapping Process (Marg ERP)

Open Marg ERP → Masters → Ease of GST → Item GST%/HSN/SAC/RATES Updation.
Click Accept (do not change the displayed lines yet).
Press F6 → choose Only TAX%. Update CGST/SGST/IGST (e.g., 12% → 5%).
Press Esc to save, then press Enter twice. You will see “Tax Changed”.
Run Error Checking & Rewriting (see next section) to complete changes.

How to Run Error Checking (Marg ERP)

Exit to the main screen; the List of Companies appears.
Select company → press Enter/F8 → choose Error Checking & Rewriting.
Press Enter on the financial year; select Check & Rewrite Stock Books, then Check & Rewrite Account Books.
When both show “Checked”, error checking is complete.

Step 2 — HSN-wise Changes (for exceptions)

Do this only for items not covered by the bulk update (e.g., items moving to 0% or to 40%).

Masters → Master → HSN/SAC Master.
Select HSN → press Enter → change SGST/CGST/IGST values.
Press Esc → when asked “Change in Item Master?” choose YES.
Repeat for all exceptional HSNs.

Making bills with old GST rates (back-dated entries)

While billing (Sales, Purchases, Returns): after selecting item, press F2 on QTY and enter the old SGST/CGST/IGST. When prompted to change item master, select NO to avoid overwriting new rates.

Should you change MRP / Item prices?

There’s no mandatory govt instruction to change MRP. Decide based on business/brand guidance. Table below shows typical MRP impact when tax changes are passed to price.

Old GST	New GST	Price change	Examples
12%	5%	-6.25%	Butter, ghee, cheese, almonds (₹100 → ₹93.75)
18%	5%	-11.02%	Chocolates, ice cream, biscuits (₹100 → ₹88.98)
28%	18%	-7.81%	Some appliances / paints (₹100 → ₹92.19)
12%	18%	+5.36%	Rare processed items (₹100 → ₹105.36)
28%	40%	+9.38%	Tobacco / pan masala / luxury (₹100 → ₹109.38)
5%	5%	0%	Essentials — no change
0%	0%	0%	Exempt items — no change

Examples & Exceptions

12% → 0%: Notified life-saving medicines (must tag and set to 0% manually).
12% → 5%: Most everyday pharma & FMCG items — bulk map.
18% → 5%: Chocolates, certain foods.

General Terms & Conditions — Important (Read before making tax/business changes)

Backup & test: Always take a full backup of your ERP data before applying tax changes. Perform the change on a test/company copy and verify sample invoices before updating production data.
Business decisions: Tax mapping and MRP changes affect pricing, margins and compliance. Decisions to change MRP or margins must be taken by your management, brands, or authorized stakeholders — not automated by this script or page.
Audit trail: Keep exports of pre-change item masters, HSN mappings and a record of all changes (who, when, reason) for audit and legal compliance.
Liability: The information provided here is general guidance only. You must consult your tax advisor, GST consultant, or manufacturer for exact HSN classifications and legal/tax advice.
Rollback plan: Maintain a tested rollback procedure (restore from backup) before you start mass updates. Confirm error-checking completes successfully and verify ledgers before resuming normal operations.
