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.
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:
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:
False ceiling panels made of plastics generally fall under HSN 3918 (e.g., 39181090 or 39189090).
Plastic false ceiling materials (HSN 3918) attract an 18% GST rate.
The 18% GST rate for these materials became effective on July 1, 2017, with revisions on November 15, 2017.
No, false ceiling panels made of gypsum, plaster, or cement would fall under HSN Chapter 68, which covers “Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials,” and would have a different HSN and potentially different GST rate (e.g., 18%).
Always identify the primary material of the false ceiling panel or sheet and then refer to the relevant HSN Chapter and detailed descriptions. Consulting official GST notifications or a tax professional is recommended for specific or complex materials.
