## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 6808

It includes Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels?

If your outward supply of Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels 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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels?

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.

### If I repair and return Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels, 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.

### Any special steps when selling Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### How should I document Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cement/agglomerated vegetable panels 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.
