Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a destination-based tax. It means the taxation will happen at the place where they are consumed and not at the origin place. Let us understand how you need to pay different GST in different situations.

Mr. Seller in Pune, Maharashtra, sells 100 washing machines to Mr. Buyer in Mumbai, Maharashtra (same state). Since the product is consumed in the same state, CGST + SGST apply.

Mr. Seller also sells TVs to a buyer in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (a different state). Because this is interstate, IGST applies.

If a registered person transports goods valued over ₹ 50,000, an e-way bill is required under GST rules. This applies especially to interstate movement and often intrastate, too, depending on the state.

What is an e-Way Bill?

An E-way Bill (Electronic Way Bill) is an online document required for the movement of goods under GST. If you are GST registered and want to transfer goods whose value exceeds ₹ 50,000 in a vehicle, you need an e-way bill. You can generate it on www.ewaybillgst.gov.in. Also note that the bill must be generated before the movement of goods begins.

The bill can also be generated or cancelled through SMS, by site-to-site integration through API, and an Android app. Every e-Way bill has a unique e-way bill number (EBN), and it is made available to the recipient, transporter, and supplier.

Is GST Levied on Life Insurance Policies?

Before GST was introduced in July 2017, life insurance premiums carried around 15% taxes, including Service Tax, Krishi Kalyan Cess, and Swachh Bharat Cess. After GST came into effect, premiums were subject to 18% GST.

However, now all individual life insurance premiums are exempt from GST, meaning policyholders pay NIL GST on their premiums, effective from 22nd September 2025.

GST Rates Before and After September 22, 2025

Insurance Plan	GST Rate Before Sept 22, 2025	GST Rate After Sept 22, 2025
Term Life Insurance	18%	NIL / Exempt
ULIPs	18%	NIL / Exempt
Endowment Plans	18%	NIL / Exempt

Can You Save GST on Investment?

When you buy a term insurance plan or other individual life insurance products, you no longer pay GST as premiums are now exempt from GST. Previously, GST applied to the mortality and other charges, not to the investment amount.

You are still eligible for tax deductions under Section 80C for most life insurance policies, which can further reduce your taxable income.

You can also save taxes by investing in the following plans:

Life Insurance Plans	Employee Provident Funds (EPF)
Term Life Insurance	Public Provident Funds (PPF)
ULIPs	National Savings Certificates (NSC)
Endowment Plans	Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme
Annuity & Pension Plans	Senior Citizen Savings Scheme
Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS)	National/New Pension Scheme (NPS)

For every individual and business owner, the first thing to understand is their taxes. For every product you buy, know what part of your investment is going into taxes. If you are self-employed, GST transactions and services make your business easier and open to a wider market.

For example:

You can invest in term insurance for the financial protection of your family
Invest in NPS and PPF for a safe retirement
Use ULIPs to build wealth in the long run and look after children’s goals
At the same time, tax-saving investments will reduce your personal annual tax burden and help you build wealth for your family’s future. The majority of tax-saving investments are long-term plans aimed at specific life goals.

Thus, with the right kind of tax-saving investments, you not only reduce your tax expenses but also offer your family a better future.
