Understanding the “False Ceiling” HSN Code for GST

For businesses in India dealing with “false ceilings,” understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is vital for accurate GST compliance and seamless trade operations. The term “false ceiling” refers to a secondary ceiling hung below the main structural ceiling, often for aesthetic, acoustic, or utility concealment purposes. Its HSN classification depends primarily on the material from which it is made.

Mapping the False Ceiling HSN Code and GST Rate

The HSN classification for “false ceilings” is not a single, direct code but rather depends on the material composition of the ceiling panels or covering. The data provided highlights how different materials are categorized.

Based on the provided data, here are the key HSN codes and GST rates relevant to materials commonly used in false ceilings:

  • For Wall or Ceiling Coverings of Plastics:
    • 3918: This heading specifically covers “Floor Coverings Of Plastics, Whether Or Not Selfadhesive, In Rolls Or In The Form Of Tiles; Wall Or Ceiling Coverings Of Plastics, As Defined In Note 9 To This Chapter.”
    • This category includes specific sub-headings like:
      • 39181010: “Of Polymers Of Vinyl Chloride : Wall Or Ceiling Coverings Combined With Knitted Or [Woven Fabric]”
      • 39181090: “Of Polymers Of Vinyl Chloride : Other”
      • 39189020: “Of Other Plastics :Wall Or Ceiling Coverings Combined With Knitted Or Woven Fabric”
      • 39189090: “Of Other Plastics : Other”
    • All these plastic wall or ceiling coverings attract an 18% GST rate, with effective dates from July 1, 2017, and revisions on November 15, 2017. This is a very common material for false ceilings.

It is crucial to distinguish false ceiling materials from other “ceiling” related entries in the data that are not directly about the false ceiling panels themselves:

  • 841451XX (e.g., 84145120, 84145110): These HSN codes refer to “Ceiling Fans,” which are electrical appliances fixed to a ceiling, not the ceiling structure itself. These attract an 18% GST rate.
  • 841510 (Air Conditioning Machines designed to be fixed to a Ceiling): This refers to air conditioning units, not the false ceiling structure. These attract a 28% GST rate.
  • 940510: This relates to “Chandeliers And Other Electric Ceiling Or Wall Lighting Fittings,” which are lighting fixtures installed on a ceiling, not the structural or decorative ceiling panels. These attract an 18% GST rate.
  • 6704 (Wigs, False Beards, Eyebrows and Eyelashes): While the word “False” appears here, it refers to artificial hair products, completely unrelated to building materials.
