What products are classified under HSN 5901

It includes Coated book fabrics

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Coated book fabrics?

If your outward supply of Coated book fabrics 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Coated book fabrics?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Coated book fabrics?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Coated book fabrics?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Coated book fabrics are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Coated book fabrics?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Coated book fabrics 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.
