Interestingly, the provided data does not contain any specific entries for “lime powder.” Instead, it lists various other mineral powders like mica powder, asbestos powder, barytes powder, graphite powder, feldspar powder, quartzite powder, and vermiculite powder. All these mineral powders mentioned in the data attract a Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate of 5%.
While “lime” is mentioned in the chapter description (“plastering materials, lime and cement”), there are no specific HSN codes or GST rates provided for lime in powder form within this dataset.
To accurately determine the HSN code and GST rate for lime powder (which typically refers to calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide in powdered form), we would need to consult the complete GST tariff schedule under Chapter 25, which covers salt, sulphur, earths and stone, plastering materials, lime, and cement.
Based on general knowledge of GST classifications, lime and its various forms often fall under HSN code 2522, which specifically covers quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), and hydraulic lime. The GST rate for these forms of lime is typically 5%. It is highly probable that lime powder would also be classified under this heading and attract the same GST rate.
Lime is typically covered under HSN Chapter 25, which includes plastering materials, lime, and cement.
Lime powder (calcium oxide or hydroxide in powder form) is likely classified under HSN code 2522, which covers various forms of lime.
All the mineral powders listed (mica, asbestos, barytes, graphite, feldspar, quartzite, vermiculite) have a GST rate of 5%.
Quicklime and slaked lime, often under HSN code 2522, typically have a GST rate of 5%.
The 5% GST rate for all the listed mineral powders has been effective since July 1, 2017.
To find the definitive HSN code and GST rate, you should consult the complete and official GST tariff schedule, specifically under HSN Chapter 25.
