Sarees attract 5% GST (₹1,000 and below per piece) and 12% above ₹1,000. Pure silk sarees up to ₹1,000/piece are exempt for cottage industry. Inverted duty structure (input GST > output GST) often triggers ITC refund claims worth lakhs annually for medium-to-large saree retailers — most miss this.

Why this matters for saree shops
Saree shops in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana operate at the intersection of textile retail and high-margin lifestyle goods. FilingLab handles the full compliance bundle for saree retailers — GST registration with correct HSN classification (silk under 5007, cotton sarees under 5208 etc.), Shop & Establishment Act, MSME / Udyam registration for govt benefits, plus accounting at branch and brand level. Whether you run a single counter in T. Nagar or a 10-store chain across Coimbatore, Madurai and Salem, the structure-and-compliance question is the same.
