## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2711

It includes Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons?

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 Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### How should I document Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons?

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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons 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 are warranty replacements of Petroleum gases, gaseous hydrocarbons handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.
