Understanding the Tata Salt’s HSN Code

The HSN code for Tata Salt, or any common edible salt, falls under a clear and specific category. According to the provided data, and general GST classifications:

  • Chapter 25: Mineral Products – Salt; Sulphur; Earths and Stone; Plastering materials, lime and cement.
    • Within this chapter, HSN 250100 specifically covers “Salt (Including Table Salt And Denatured Salt) And Pure Sodium Chloride, Whether Or Not In Aqueous Solution Or Containing Added Anti-Caking Or Free Flowing Agents; Sea Water.”
    • Further granular codes like 25010010 (for common salt) and 25010020 (for other forms of salt within this category) are also listed.

Crucially, all these HSN codes for common salt, including table salt, carry a Nil GST rate. This means that when you buy Tata Salt, you are not paying GST on the product itself. This nil rate has been effective since July 1, 2017.

It’s important to distinguish this from various chemical “salts” listed in the data under Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), such as Cacodylic Acid And Its Salt (29319012) or Ibuprofane salts (29420012). These are pharmaceutical or industrial chemicals and attract an 18% GST rate, but they are entirely different products from edible table salt like Tata Salt.

Therefore, for Tata Salt, which is fundamentally a table salt, the relevant HSN code is 250100, and it is exempt from GST.
