Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1, 2 and 4 only
GST Schedule lists hulled cereal grains (HS 1104) at NIL rate, cooked eggs (HS 0407) at NIL rate, and newspapers—even when containing advertising material (HS 4902)—at NIL rate. Processed or canned fish (HS 1604) attracts 12 % and is therefore not exempt. Thus only items 1, 2 and 4 are GST-exempt ([cbic-gst.gov.in](https://cbic-gst.gov.in/gst-goods-services-rates.html?utm_source=openai))
