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:
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.
The HSN code for Tata Salt is 250100.
Tata Salt has a Nil GST rate.
The Nil GST rate for salt became effective on July 1, 2017.

The “salts” with an 18% GST rate (e.g., under Chapter 29) are chemical compounds, not edible table salt. They are used in pharmaceuticals, industries, or other specialized applications.
