995463 SAC Code GST Rate

Review old and new GST rates for Hvac Installation under 995463 SAC Code.

HVAC and refrigeration installation services, including AC installation and cold room setup, are treated as works contract or construction related services under GST. Earlier, different ways of splitting equipment supply and installation sometimes created different effective tax outcomes for similar projects, which made quotation and tax planning difficult for contractors and clients.

After the September 2025 rationalisation, most HVAC and refrigeration installation services under SAC 995463 generally fall in the 18% slab with input tax credit. This standard rate applies where HVAC or cold room systems are supplied and installed as part of a works contract, unless a specific notification grants concessional treatment for a particular public or social sector scheme.

The table below explains the current GST rate applicable to SAC code 995463 services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about SAC Code 995463 and GST compliance.

What does SAC code 995463 mean in GST?

This code covers installation services for heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. It includes central HVAC plants, ducting, chilled water lines, split AC installations and mechanical ventilation systems.

Does SAC 995463 cover AC, HVAC and ventilation system installation?

Yes. Installing chiller plants, air handling units, VRV or VRF systems, ducts, diffusers and even multiple split units in a project can be classified under 995463. It focuses on installation, not just supply of AC units as goods.

What GST rate applies to services under SAC 995463?

HVAC installation services under 995463 are normally taxed at 18% with ITC, matching the general GST treatment for installation services under heading 9954 in construction.

Is SAC 995463 used for both central and split AC projects?

Yes. Both central air conditioning systems and organised installation of multiple split AC units for a building can be billed under 995463. Simple supply of a single AC to a retail customer without significant installation may be treated as goods rather than this service.

Is ITC available on GST paid for SAC 995463 services?

Contractors can claim ITC on GST paid for ducts, insulation, labour and other taxable inputs. Clients can claim ITC if the air conditioned space is used for taxable business, such as offices, hotels or shops, subject to normal ITC restrictions for immovable property.
