SAC Code 995469." canonical: "https://busy.in/sac-code-995469/" --- # Repair And Maintenance under SAC Code 995469 Part of [SAC 9954: Services in building & construction](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/). Preventive maintenance services cover planned inspection, servicing and minor repair of building systems and installed equipment before major breakdowns happen. Service providers follow schedules to check electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other systems so that downtime and repair cost reduce. Under GST, this work is classified under SAC 995469. The SAC code and its [**GST rate**](https://busy.in/gst-rates/) decide how much GST is charged and how the value is recorded in GST returns. ## 995469 SAC Code GST rate Preventive maintenance services for buildings and installed systems are treated as repair and maintenance or works contract services under GST. Earlier, different ways of billing comprehensive and non comprehensive maintenance contracts sometimes produced different effective tax outcomes for similar services, which made it difficult to compare and plan costs. After the September 2025 changes, most preventive maintenance services under SAC 995469 generally come under the 18% slab with [**input tax credit**](https://busy.in/gst/input-tax-credit/) . This standard rate applies to scheduled inspection and servicing contracts unless a specific notification grants concessional treatment for a particular public or social sector scheme. **The table below summarises the present GST rate for services under SAC code 995469.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 995469 | Services involving Repair, alterations, additions, replacements, maintenance of the installations covered above. | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Repair or maintenance of installation services under 9954.

The same SAC code and rate should also be used consistently in GSTR 1 and [**GSTR 3B**](https://busy.in/gst/a-guide-to-gstr-3b-what-is-gstr-3b/) while reporting the tax liability on preventive maintenance 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 within 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 Preventive maintenance services under SAC 995469 cover planned inspection, servicing and minor repairs of building systems and equipment to avoid major breakdowns. These services are now generally taxed at 18% with input tax credit after the September 2025 changes. Contractors and users should check that such contracts are properly classified under this SAC code, apply the correct GST rate on every invoice and keep the same classification in [**GST returns**](https://busy.in/gst/gst-returns/) . For large or multi year maintenance contracts, it is sensible to review the latest GST rules and seek expert advice . ## Frequently asked questions ### What does SAC code 995469 cover in GST for repair and maintenance services?
