## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2915

It includes Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives?

If your outward supply of Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives 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.

### How are warranty replacements of Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives 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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives?

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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives?

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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Monocarboxylic acids and derivatives?

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.
