Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 29157020 and GST compliance.
It includes Stearic acid
For food/agri items, GST can be 5% when not fresh/chilled and sold as pre‑packaged & labelled; otherwise often Nil. For non‑food items, rates depend on the specific sub‑heading.
Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Stearic acid; Nil for exempt items if applicable).
If your outward supply is taxable, eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
e‑Way bill is needed above ₹50,000 consignment value (subject to exemptions). e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.
Under HSN 29157020, Stearic acid attracts Varies when sold in taxable form. Describe the exact form on the invoice.
Use the exact HSN and describe the form/grade. For multi‑line invoices, apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.
