Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2530 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2530

It includes Unspecified mineral substances

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Unspecified mineral substances?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Unspecified mineral substances?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Unspecified mineral substances?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Unspecified mineral substances?

If your outward supply of Unspecified mineral substances 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.

If I repair and return Unspecified mineral substances, 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Unspecified mineral substances?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.
