What products are classified under HSN 1703

It includes Sugar molasses

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Sugar molasses?

If your outward supply of Sugar molasses is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Sugar molasses?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Sugar molasses is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

How should I document Sugar molasses sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Sugar molasses to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.

What should my invoice and records include for Sugar molasses?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Sugar molasses?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.
