New GST Rates List 2026: Updated List of Tax Slabs on Dishwashers

GST on dishwashers is now 18%, down from 28%, since the GST 2.0 reform took effect on 22 September 2025. You can buy one on Easy EMIs.

• At the old 28% rate, a Rs. 25,000 dishwasher would have cost Rs. 32,000 with tax; at 18%, it costs Rs. 29,500 — a saving of Rs. 2,500.
• Household dishwashers fall under HSN code 84221100, part of the broader 8422 dishwasher category.
• Commercial and household dishwashers are taxed at the same 18% rate, with no separate slab for either.
• Imported dishwashers may attract additional customs duty on top of GST; domestically made models do not.

Convert the cost of your new dishwasher into Easy EMIs using Bajaj Finance's financing options at over 1.5 lakh partner stores such as Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales, and more, or find a partner store near you. Check your loan eligibility before getting started.

Now is a good time to buy a dishwasher. With the GST 2.0 reform, the rate on dishwashers dropped from 28% to 18%, effective 22 September 2025, making these appliances noticeably more affordable. This applies to both household and commercial models, sold by domestic and imported brands alike.

A dishwasher is a smart pick, especially for busy families and working professionals, since it saves you the daily task of washing dishes by hand. You can buy one with Bajaj Finance's Easy EMIs and spread the cost over time, so the purchase does not strain your budget in one go.

GST on a dishwasher is calculated on the sale price, which includes the base price after any applicable discount. This keeps the calculation straightforward, whether you are buying in-store or online.

• If a dishwasher is priced at Rs. 30,000 and a Rs. 5,000 discount applies, GST is calculated on the discounted Rs. 25,000, not the original price.
• GST amount = (base price × 18) ÷ 100. For a Rs. 25,000 base price: (25,000 × 18) ÷ 100 = Rs. 4,500.
• Total cost including GST = base price + GST amount. In this example: Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 29,500. At the old 28% rate, the same dishwasher would have cost Rs. 32,000 with tax — Rs. 2,500 more than today.

The Harmonised System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is a globally accepted system for classifying goods and applying the correct tax rate. Getting this right matters for both buyers and sellers.

• Dishwashers fall under HSN code 8422, which covers machines for cleaning containers.
• Household dishwashers specifically use HSN 84221100.
• Other dishwasher types or parts may use related codes such as 84221900 or 84229020, depending on design and use.

Yes, both commercial and household dishwashers are now taxed at the same 18% rate. Earlier, some models attracted varied rates depending on classification, but the latest reform has unified the slab for simplicity.

If you are importing a dishwasher rather than buying a domestic model, keep in mind that customs duties apply on top of GST, which can make imported units more expensive. Domestically made dishwashers only carry the 18% GST, so they usually work out cheaper.

Thinking of buying a new dishwasher?

Before you do that, explore the latest offers from Bajaj Finance. You may find a great deal on a model that matches your needs.

Bajaj Finance offers two ways to convert your dishwasher purchase into affordable monthly payments. Both options are available at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 in India.

How to choose?

Both options require you to be physically present at a partner store. The Insta EMI Card suits shoppers who want to purchase across multiple categories over time, while the Easy EMI Loan suits buyers financing a higher-value dishwasher purchase in a single transaction.

• An imported dishwasher may look similar to a domestic model on the shelf, but added customs duty on top of GST can push its final price meaningfully higher — factor this in if you are comparing brands.
• The Insta EMI Card works well if you shop across categories over time, while the Easy EMI Loan suits a single, higher-value dishwasher purchase where you want a bigger card loan offer.
• With a longer repayment tenure, your monthly EMI is smaller, but you should always confirm the actual interest and fee structure in-store before signing.

With over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000, Bajaj Finance's network means you can buy a dishwasher on Easy EMIs whether you live in a metro city or a smaller city such as Jaipur or Lucknow.

Upgrading to a new dishwasher is simple and affordable with Bajaj Finance's in-store financing options. The entire process usually takes just 10 to 15 minutes. Follow these steps:

1. Browse models on Bajaj Mall: Explore the range of dishwasher models available on Bajaj Mall. Compare brands, capacity, and prices before heading to the store.
2. Find a partner store near you: Use the Bajaj Finance store locator to find a nearby partner outlet such as Croma, Vijay Sales, or other authorised retailers.
3. Check the dishwasher in person: Visit the store and explore available models. Check the GST-inclusive price, place-setting capacity, and wash programme options to find the one that suits your kitchen.
4. Choose a suitable EMI option: At checkout, ask the store executive about the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan. Confirm available tenure options and whether your chosen model comes with a zero down payment offer.
5. Complete payment and take your dishwasher home: Once approved, your purchase is processed immediately, and you can schedule delivery or installation at your convenience.

You can also check your loan eligibility online in advance by entering your mobile number and OTP, helping you plan your purchase better.
