Gentlemen/Sir/Madam,

Querries have been received from the trade as to the proper classification of playing cards. It is clarified that under the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959, in a determination order dt. 18.11.1995 bearing no. DDQ-1195/ADM-5/131/B-16 passed in the case of M/s. Parvati Packers, it has been held that playing cards would be ‘sports goods’.

  1. The entry, in material parts, has remained unchanged even after the introduction of Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002. It is accordingly clarified that playing cards would continue to be sports goods and would be covered by the scope of entry 92 of Schedule C appended to the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002.
     

  2. This circular cannot be made use of for legal interpretation of provisions of law as it is clarificatory in nature. If any member of the trade has any doubt, he may refer the matter to this office for further clarification.
     

  3. You are requested to bring the contents of this circular to the notice of the members of your association.  

(B. C. Khatua)
