## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 8513

It includes Portable Electric Lamps

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Portable Electric Lamps?

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.

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Portable Electric Lamps?

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 are warranty replacements of Portable Electric Lamps 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Portable Electric Lamps?

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.

### Any special steps when selling Portable Electric Lamps 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.

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Portable Electric Lamps?

If your outward supply of Portable Electric Lamps 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.
