CBIC has issued clarification in relation to GST rate of various goods based on recommendations of 48th GST council meeting by circular No. 189/01/2023 Dt. 13.01.2023. Relevant extract of same is as under:

2.1 Representation has been received seeking clarification regarding the classification of “Rab”. It has been stated that under the U.P. Rab (Movement Control Order), 1967, “Rab” means ‘massecuite prepared by concentrating sugarcane juice on open pan furnaces, and includes Rab Galawat and Rab Salawat, but does not include khandsari molasses or lauta gur.’ Although, a product of sugarcane, Rab exists in semi-solid/liquid form, and is thus not covered under heading 1701. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its order in Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti vs. M/s Shankar Industries and others [1993 SCR (1)1037] has distinguished Rab from Molasses. Thus, Rab being distinguishable from molasses is not classifiable under heading 1703.

2.2 Accordingly, it is hereby clarified that Rab is appropriately classifiable under heading 1702 attracting GST rate of 18% (S. No. 11 in Schedule III of notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate), dated the 28th June, 2017).
