## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 7016

It includes Glass Paving Blocks

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Glass Paving Blocks?

If your outward supply of Glass Paving Blocks 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 Glass Paving Blocks?

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.

### How should I document Glass Paving Blocks sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Glass Paving Blocks 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Glass Paving Blocks?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Glass Paving Blocks follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.
