Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2516 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2516

It includes Granite & other monumental stones

Do spares or accessories of Granite & other monumental stones follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

If I repair and return Granite & other monumental stones, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Granite & other monumental stones?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Granite & other monumental stones?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Granite & other monumental stones are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Granite & other monumental stones?

If your outward supply of Granite & other monumental stones 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.
