Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 8527 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 8527

It includes Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus

How are warranty replacements of Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus 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.

Do spares or accessories of Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus?

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 I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus?

If your outward supply of Radio-broadcasting reception apparatus 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.
