Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), commonly known as rubbing alcohol, is a ubiquitous chemical used across numerous industries for its solvent and disinfectant properties. From pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to electronics manufacturing and household cleaning, IPA plays a vital role. For businesses involved in the trade, production, or use of isopropyl alcohol in India, correctly identifying its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is fundamental for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance.
The HSN system provides a globally recognized method for classifying goods, which in India, directly impacts the applicable GST rates. Isopropyl alcohol falls squarely within Chapter 29: Organic Chemicals, a chapter dedicated to defined organic chemical compounds.
Specifically, the data points to a clear and precise HSN code for Isopropyl alcohol:
It’s important to note that while the data also mentions “Propan-1-O1 (Propyl Alcohol)” under 29051210, Isopropyl alcohol (Propan-2-ol) has its own distinct eight-digit code (29051220), ensuring clear differentiation for taxation purposes. Other alcohols listed in the data, such as Octanol (29051690), Dodecan-1-ol (29051700), or various ethers and carboxylic acids, all fall under different HSN codes within Chapter 29, but generally share the 18% GST rate for organic chemicals.
Isopropyl alcohol falls under Chapter 29: Organic Chemicals.
The specific HSN code is 29051220.
The GST rate for Isopropyl alcohol is 18%.
Because it is a saturated monohydric alcohol that belongs to the acyclic (non-ring structured) chemical group.
Based on the provided data, there is no CESS applicable on Isopropyl alcohol.
