Aadhaar Fee Calculator for India Post: Understanding CGST and SGST Bifurcation

As part of the Aadhaar services offered by India Post—including demographic updates, biometric corrections, and reprint requests—residents are charged nominal service fees. These fees are not only fixed by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) but also include applicable taxes under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.

To improve billing transparency and help operator understand the GST breakdown, this online Aadhaar Fee Calculator clearly bifurcates the charges into:

• Base service fee
• Central GST (CGST)
• State GST (SGST)
• Total payable amount

This article explains how this fee structure works and provides examples for better clarity.

Service	Total Fee (Inclusive of GST)

These fees include 18% GST, divided equally between CGST (9%) and SGST (9%).
