The taxable value generally includes subscription fees, installation and activation charges, hardware rental where applicable and charges for extra channel packs or pay per view content. Following the September 2025 revision, DTH and similar home distribution services which are not covered by any special concession are normally taxed at 18%. Once the supplier crosses the registration threshold, GST needs to be charged on taxable supplies, and business subscribers may claim input tax credit if conditions are satisfied and the service is used for business purposes. The following table sets out the standard GST rate that now applies to this SAC in typical situations. | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 998466 | Home programme distribution services | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Home distribution of TV/radio programmes (cable/DTH distribution etc.) is grouped with 99846 broadcasting and taxed at 18% as a typical commercial service; event-specific concessions do not alter the default rate. | Service providers should show the subscription or service value, mention this SAC on invoices and apply 18% GST wherever the supply is taxable so that subscriber records and GST workings remain clear. ## Practical classification guidance DTH operators should use this code when the primary service is delivering television channels directly to customer premises through satellite and set top boxes. Other SAC codes from the same heading may be more suitable when the main supply is pure channel broadcasting, radio programming, online content platforms or news and information services. ## Conclusion This code is meant for DTH and similar home television distribution services where content is delivered directly to subscribers through satellite or comparable technology. Such services are generally subject to 18% GST, so picking the correct code and rate helps providers and business subscribers avoid disputes during audits. It is a good habit to review tariff structures, offers and bundles regularly so that GST treatment stays consistent with the way services are actually provided. ## Explore more ### Other SAC services under 9984 - [998411: Carrier](https://busy.in/sac-code-998411/) - [998412: Fixed Line Telephone](https://busy.in/sac-code-998412/) - [998413: Mobile Telecom](https://busy.in/sac-code-998413/) - [998414: Private Network](https://busy.in/sac-code-998414/) - [998415: Data Transmission](https://busy.in/sac-code-998415/) - [998419: Telecommunication](https://busy.in/sac-code-998419/) - [998421: Internet Backbone](https://busy.in/sac-code-998421/) - [998422: Broadband Internet](https://busy.in/sac-code-998422/) - [998423: Online Fax](https://busy.in/sac-code-998423/) - [998424: Video Conferencing](https://busy.in/sac-code-998424/) - [998429: Internet Telecom](https://busy.in/sac-code-998429/) - [998431: Online Information](https://busy.in/sac-code-998431/) - [998432: Online Audio Streaming](https://busy.in/sac-code-998432/) - [998433: Online Video Streaming](https://busy.in/sac-code-998433/) - [998434: Software Download](https://busy.in/sac-code-998434/) - [998435: E Book Download](https://busy.in/sac-code-998435/) - [998439: Digital Content](https://busy.in/sac-code-998439/) - [998441: News Agency](https://busy.in/sac-code-998441/) - [998442: Independent Journalist](https://busy.in/sac-code-998442/) - [998443: Audiovisual News](https://busy.in/sac-code-998443/) - [998451: Library](https://busy.in/sac-code-998451/) - [998452: Digital Archive](https://busy.in/sac-code-998452/) - [998453: Historical Archive](https://busy.in/sac-code-998453/) - [998461: Radio Broadcasting](https://busy.in/sac-code-998461/) - [998462: Television Broadcast](https://busy.in/sac-code-998462/) - [998463: Radio Channel](https://busy.in/sac-code-998463/) - [998464: Television Programmes](https://busy.in/sac-code-998464/) - [998465: Broadcasting](https://busy.in/sac-code-998465/) ### All SAC headings - [99: All Services Accounting](https://busy.in/sac-code-99/) - [9954: Services in building & construction](https://busy.in/sac-code-9954/) - [9961: Services in wholesale trade](https://busy.in/sac-code-9961/) - [9962: Services in retail trade](https://busy.in/sac-code-9962/) - [9963: Accommodation, food & beverage services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9963/) - [9964: Passenger transport services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9964/) - [9965: Goods transport services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9965/) - [9966: Rental services of transport vehicles](https://busy.in/sac-code-9966/) - [9967: Supporting services in transport](https://busy.in/sac-code-9967/) - [9968: Postal & courier services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9968/) - [9969: Electricity, gas & water supply services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9969/) - [9971: Financial & related services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9971/) - [9972: Real estate services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9972/) - [9973: Leasing or rental services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9973/) - [9981: Research & development services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9981/) - [9982: Legal & accounting services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9982/) - [9983: Professional, technical & business services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9983/) - [9984: Telecommunications & broadcasting supply services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9984/) - [9985: Support services to business](https://busy.in/sac-code-9985/) - [9986: Support services to agriculture, hunting, forestry & more](https://busy.in/sac-code-9986/) - [9987: Maintenance, repair & installation services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9987/) - [9988: Manufacturing services on physical inputs](https://busy.in/sac-code-9988/) - [9989: Services in publishing, printing & bookbinding](https://busy.in/sac-code-9989/) - [9991: Public administration & other services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9991/) - [9992: Education services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9992/) - [9993: Human health & social care services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9993/) - [9994: Sewage & waste collection](https://busy.in/sac-code-9994/) - [9995: Services of membership organizations](https://busy.in/sac-code-9995/) - [9996: Recreational, cultural & sporting services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9996/) - [9997: Other Services](https://busy.in/sac-code-9997/)
