SAC Code 998529." canonical: "https://busy.in/sac-code-998529/" --- # Security under SAC Code 998529 Part of [SAC 9985: Support services to business](https://busy.in/sac-code-9985/). Other security services under SAC code 998529 act as a residual bucket for specialised security work that does not fit into specific codes like guard services, polygraph or fingerprinting. Typical examples include event security coordination, VIP escort planning and niche protective services designed around special risks, people or high value assets. Billing is generally based on scope, duration and risk profile, with GST applied on the final service value. These customised arrangements usually need clear contracts. ## 998529 SAC Code GST rate Other security services under this SAC act as a catch all for specialised security assignments that are not covered under more specific codes like guard services or polygraph testing. GST law treats these as normal investigation and security services with a standard 18% rate and ITC allowed. Even after the September 2025 rate reshuffle, these residual security services remain in the 18% bracket. That means most tailored protection, escort or risk management engagements will charge GST at 18% unless a very specific exemption or special notification applies. **Use the summary below to see the latest GST rate notified for SAC code 998529.** | SAC code | Description | New GST rate (from 22 Sep 2025) | Old GST rate (till 21 Sep 2025) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 998529 | Other security services n.e.c. | 18% with ITC | 18% with ITC | Residual security services are also taxed at 18%. Tables showing 5% / nil specifically tie those lower rates to specified sporting events and ITC restrictions, so they are not used as the typical rate. | For bespoke security jobs billed under this SAC, invoices should clearly describe the work done and apply GST at 18% on the service value. This makes it easier for clients to justify the expense and for officers to see that the correct rate has been applied for security services. ## Practical classification guidance If a mandate fits neatly into one of the specific codes, it is better to use that code instead of this residual entry. Reserve this SAC for specialised or mixed security engagements that do not match any other description closely. ## Conclusion Other security services give businesses flexibility to structure custom protection or risk control solutions. From a GST point of view these services remain in the 18% slab with standard credit treatment. Clear contracts, proper SAC selection and accurate invoices will keep these assignments easy to defend during any GST review. ## Explore more ### Other SAC services under 9985 - [998511: Executive Search Firm](https://busy.in/sac-code-998511/) -
