SAC Code 995468." canonical: "https://busy.in/sac-code-995468/" --- # Installation under SAC Code 995468 Part of [SAC 9954: Services in building & construction](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/). Industrial installation services cover installing heavy machinery, production lines, process equipment and support systems in factories, plants and workshops. Service providers handle alignment, grouting, basic hook ups and trial runs so that the equipment is ready for operation. Under GST, this work is classified under SAC 995468. The SAC code and its GST rate decide how much GST is charged and how the value is reported in [**GST returns**](https://busy.in/gst/gst-returns/) . This helps factories start production faster with fewer installation issues. ## 995468 SAC Code GST rate Industrial installation services, including equipment installation and plant erection, are treated as works contract or industrial construction services under GST. Earlier, different ways of splitting machinery supply and installation sometimes produced different effective tax outcomes for similar projects, which complicated costing and tax planning for both contractors and industrial clients. After the September 2025 rationalisation, most industrial installation services under SAC 995468 generally fall in the 18% slab with input tax credit. This standard rate applies where equipment and machinery are installed as part of a works contract, unless a specific notification grants concessional treatment for a particular strategic or government supported scheme. **The table below gives the latest GST rate for services under SAC code 995468.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 995468 | Other installation services n.e.c. | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Classified under installation services in 9954. Not specifically covered in the 56th Council rate change list, so continues at the general 18% with ITC construction service rate. | When issuing invoices for services under SAC 995468, contractors should clearly show the taxable value and 18% GST so that eligible industrial clients can claim input tax credit correctly. The same SAC code and rate should also be used in GSTR 1 for outward supplies and in [**GSTR 3B**](https://busy.in/gst/a-guide-to-gstr-3b-what-is-gstr-3b/) while reporting the tax liability on industrial installation services. ## Practical classification guidance In day to day use, businesses should pick the SAC code that best reflects the main nature of the contract. If the work is more focused on full building construction, general infrastructure or specialised repair, another [**SAC code within 9954**](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/) may be more suitable. Correct SAC selection and GST rate application help reduce future disputes, support a clean input tax credit trail and make GST records easier to justify during audits or departmental checks. ## Conclusion Industrial installation services under SAC 995468 cover installing heavy machinery, production lines and process equipment in factories, plants and workshops. These services are now generally taxed at 18% with input tax credit after the September 2025 changes. Contractors and project owners should ensure that such contracts are correctly mapped to this SAC code, apply the proper [**GST rate**](https://busy.in/gst-rates/) on every invoice and use the same classification in GST returns. For large or strategic industrial projects, it is wise to study the latest GST guidance and consult a tax professional. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which services fall under SAC code 995468?

It includes various specialised installations linked to buildings or civil works that do not have their own detailed SAC entry. ### Does SAC 995468 include industrial and equipment installation work? It can include some industrial equipment installation that is closely tied to building services, as well as other fit outs and fixed installations that support building operations, provided they are not better matched to specific SACs for machinery erection or plant construction. ### What GST rate applies to services under SAC 995468? Services under 995468 are generally taxed at 18% with ITC as a standard installation rate under heading 9954, and no specific lower slab is notified for this residual installation category. ### When should a contractor choose SAC 995468 over other installation codes?
