It approved sweeping reforms across many sectors. Hotels were a key part of that package.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Earlier, rooms priced between \u20b91,001 and \u20b97,500 attracted 12% GST. Hoteliers could claim ITC on this slab. Rooms above \u20b97,500 attracted 18% GST.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, Hotel Room GST follows a simple two-slab structure. Rooms up to \u20b97,500 carry 5% without ITC. Rooms above that limit carry 18% with ITC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The government issued Notification No. 15\/2025-Central Tax (Rate) on 17 September 2025. This notification made the new rates legally effective.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcca Old vs New Hotel Room GST Slabs<\/h2>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Room Tariff (per night)<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Until 21 Sep 2025<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">From 22 Sep 2025<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Up to \u20b97,500<\/td>\n<td>12% with ITC<\/td>\n<td>5% without ITC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Above \u20b97,500<\/td>\n<td>18% with ITC<\/td>\n<td>18% with ITC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Keep one point in mind. The slab depends on the actual value charged per room, per night. The printed tariff card alone does not decide it.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfaf Why Was Hotel Room GST Reduced?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several reasons explain this decision. Let us look at the main ones. \ud83d\udd0d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>1. Boosting domestic tourism \ud83c\udf34<\/strong><br \/>\nTravel costs have risen sharply in recent years. A lower Hotel Room GST makes weekend trips cheaper. More families can now plan short holidays.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>2. Simplifying the tax structure \ud83e\uddfe<\/strong><br \/>\nThe earlier three-tier system confused guests and hotels alike. Two slabs are easier to explain, bill, and audit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>3. Supporting budget and mid-range hotels \ud83c\udfe9<\/strong><br \/>\nMost Indian travellers book rooms below \u20b97,500. A lower rate directly improves affordability for this large group.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>4. Strengthening the hospitality economy \ud83d\udcbc<\/strong><br \/>\nHotels create jobs for chefs, drivers, guides, and housekeeping staff. Cheaper stays can increase occupancy and local spending.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcb0 How the New Hotel Room GST Helps Travellers<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Guests are the clearest winners. Here are some simple examples. \ud83e\uddee<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Room Rate<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Old GST (12%)<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">New GST (5%)<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">You Save<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u20b93,000<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9360<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9150<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9210<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u20b96,000<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9720<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9300<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9420<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u20b97,000<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9840<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9350<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9490<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u20b97,500<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9900<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9375<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9525<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A room priced at \u20b96,000 now costs \u20b96,300 including tax. Earlier, the same room cost \u20b96,720. That is a clear saving on every night.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A family staying four nights at \u20b96,000 saves \u20b91,680. Business travellers with frequent trips save even more over a year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rooms above \u20b97,500 see no change. Luxury hotels continue to charge 18%.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\uddf3 Smart Tips for Travellers<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Check the final tariff before booking, not just the base price.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Ask whether the displayed price includes tax.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Compare Hotel Room GST across booking platforms.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Keep your GST invoice for reimbursement claims.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Report any hotel still charging 12% on eligible rooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfe2 What the ITC Rule Means for Hoteliers<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The 5% rate is attractive. However, there is a catch. \u26a0\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hotels cannot claim ITC on inputs used for rooms in the 5% slab. Costs like furniture, linen, repairs, and software carry GST. Hoteliers must now absorb that tax as a cost.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Industry bodies had asked for a 5% rate with ITC. The Council chose 5% without ITC instead. Many hoteliers welcomed the lower rate but raised ITC concerns.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udde0 Who Benefits Most?<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\ud83d\udfe2 Budget hotels, homestays, and guest houses with low input costs.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udfe2 Leisure properties that attract price-sensitive guests.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udfe1 Mid-range hotels with heavy renovation spending may feel mixed effects.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd35 Premium hotels above \u20b97,500 see no rate change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udd04 What About Existing ITC?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ITC already in your electronic credit ledger can pay output tax for supplies made until 21 September 2025. For supplies after that date in the 5% slab, ITC reversal rules apply under the CGST Act. Speak with your chartered accountant for exact steps.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Restaurants Inside Hotels: The Specified Premises Rule<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This part confuses many owners. Let us simplify it. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A hotel becomes &#8220;specified premises&#8221; if any room was priced above \u20b97,500 in the previous financial year. Restaurant services in such a hotel attract 18% GST with ITC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Other hotels may charge 5% on restaurant services without ITC. The status depends on your own tariff history.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Remember that Hotel Room GST and restaurant GST are separate supplies. Treat each one correctly on your invoice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Multi-property owners must check each hotel separately. One property may be specified premises while another is not.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\uddfe Billing and Compliance Checklist for Hotels<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Follow this checklist to stay compliant. \u2714\ufe0f<\/p>\n<ol dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Update the tax rates in your billing system immediately.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Set two clear profiles: 5% without ITC and 18% with ITC.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Record the actual room value charged per night.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Keep room, food, laundry, and spa on separate billing codes.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Review the specified premises status every financial year.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Reconcile ITC in GSTR-3B regularly.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udd27 Train front-desk staff on the new slabs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\u274c Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\ud83d\udeab Charging 12% on rooms after 22 September 2025.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeab Claiming ITC on inputs used for 5% slab rooms.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeab Applying one rate to the whole property.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeab Ignoring discounts when deciding the slab.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udeab Mixing food and room charges in one line item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udca1 Pricing Strategy After the Hotel Room GST Cut<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Smart hoteliers treat this change as an opportunity. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Watch the \u20b97,500 cliff.<\/strong> A room at \u20b97,400 pays 5%. A room at \u20b97,600 pays 18%. The final guest price jumps sharply. Test your pricing near this threshold carefully.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use the saving in marketing.<\/strong> Guests love lower prices. Promote &#8220;lower taxes, same great stay&#8221; in campaigns. \ud83d\udce3<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Review your cost base.<\/strong> Since ITC is blocked on the 5% slab, negotiate better rates with vendors. Lower input costs protect your margin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Track occupancy.<\/strong> Cheaper rooms can raise demand. Monitor booking trends weekly and adjust rates dynamically.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Bundle smartly.<\/strong> Packages with meals need careful tax treatment. Split the components properly to avoid disputes.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd16 How Technology Makes Hotel Room GST Compliance Easy<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Manual billing causes errors. Wrong rates lead to notices, penalties, and unhappy guests. \ud83d\ude13<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Modern hotel software handles this automatically. It applies the correct slab based on the room value. It also generates compliant invoices within seconds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Look for these features in your system: \u2699\ufe0f<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\u26a1 Automatic slab detection for Hotel Room GST.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a1 Separate tax handling for rooms and restaurants.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a1 Easy GST reports for filing.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a1 Channel manager sync with booking platforms.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a1 Real-time dashboards for revenue tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At Saasaro, we help hospitality businesses simplify billing and compliance. Our tools reduce manual work and improve accuracy. \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udd2e What the Future Holds for Hotel Room GST<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The hospitality industry still hopes for 5% with ITC. Such a change would help hotels invest in upgrades. \ud83c\udf1f<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For now, the two-slab model is stable. Hoteliers should plan finances around it. Always check official GST updates before major pricing decisions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Online travel platforms have already updated their systems. Guests now see correct tax amounts at checkout. This builds trust and transparency.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\uddea A Practical Example of Hotel Room GST for a Small Property<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Imagine a 30-room hotel in Jaipur. The average room rate is \u20b94,500 per night. \ud83c\udff0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before the reform, the guest paid \u20b9540 as tax. The hotel could claim ITC on its purchases. After the reform, the guest pays only \u20b9225. The hotel loses ITC on room-related inputs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now suppose monthly input GST on repairs, linen, and software is \u20b940,000. Earlier, this amount reduced the tax payable. Now, it becomes a direct cost. \ud83d\udcc9<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, lower prices can lift demand. If occupancy rises by even 8%, extra bookings may offset the lost ITC. Hotel Room GST therefore affects both pricing and volume.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Track these numbers every month: \ud83d\udcca<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Average daily rate after tax.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Occupancy percentage.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Input GST absorbed as cost.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udccc Net revenue per available room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The right Hotel Room GST analysis helps owners decide whether to cut prices or hold them. Small data checks lead to better decisions. A clear Hotel Room GST plan also protects margins during slow seasons. \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\u2753 FAQs on Hotel Room GST in India<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Q1. What is the new Hotel Room GST rate in India?<\/strong> \ud83e\udd14<br \/>\nRooms priced up to \u20b97,500 per night attract 5% GST without ITC. Rooms above that attract 18% with ITC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Q2. From when is the 5% rate applicable?<\/strong> \ud83d\udcc5<br \/>\nThe new rate applies from 22 September 2025.

Can hotels claim ITC on rooms taxed at 5%?<\/strong> \ud83d\udcb3<br \/>\nNo. ITC is not available for accommodation in the 5% slab.

Is GST charged on rooms below \u20b91,000?<\/strong> \ud83c\udfe0<br \/>\nThe earlier exemption for rooms under \u20b91,000 ended in July 2022. Such rooms now follow the standard 5% rate.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Q6. What GST applies to restaurants inside hotels?<\/strong> \ud83c\udf5b<br \/>\nIt depends on specified premises status. If any room exceeded \u20b97,500 last year, restaurants charge 18% with ITC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Q7. Do guests really save money?<\/strong> \ud83d\udcb8<br \/>\nYes. Guests pay 7 percentage points less tax on eligible rooms. A \u20b96,000 room saves \u20b9420 per night.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Q8. Should hotels update software immediately?<\/strong> \ud83d\udcbb<br \/>\nYes. Wrong rates cause compliance problems. Update your billing system and test sample invoices.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">\u2705 Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hotel Room GST at 5% is a welcome relief for Indian travellers.
