What products are classified under HSN 8605

It includes Railway coaches & special-purpose vans

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Railway coaches & special-purpose vans?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Railway coaches & special-purpose vans?

If your outward supply of Railway coaches & special-purpose vans 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.

Do spares or accessories of Railway coaches & special-purpose vans 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.

Any special steps when selling Railway coaches & special-purpose vans 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.

If I repair and return Railway coaches & special-purpose vans, 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Railway coaches & special-purpose vans?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Railway coaches & special-purpose vans are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
