Supply of such goods, when put up in unit container and bearing a registered brand name attracts 2.5% CGST rate.<\/p>\n<p>Doubts are being raised as to the meaning of registered brand name. In this context, the Notification No. 1\/2017-Central Tax (Rate), dated 28th June, 2017 [which notifies the CGST rates of intra-state supply of goods] and Notification No. 2\/2017-Central Tax (Rate), dated 28th June, 2017 [which exempts intra-state supply of the specified goods] clearly defines \u201cregistered brand name\u201d as\u00a0<b>brand name or trade name, which is registered under the Trade Marks Act, 1999<\/b>.\u00a0In this regard, Section 2 (w) read with Section 2(t) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 provide that a registered trade mark means a trade mark which is actually on the Register of Trade Marks and remaining in force.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, unless the brand name or trade name is actually on the Register of Trade Marks and is in force under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, CGST rate of 5% will not be applicable on the supply of such goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">Ministry of
