GST guidance by Pardeep Jha, Chartered Accountant
Pardeep Jha & Associates, Chartered Accountants · Rates as on July 2026
Chapter 84 is the largest goods chapter and covers machinery, mechanical appliances, computers and their parts — from pumps, boilers and industrial machines to laptops, printers and computer peripherals. If you deal in capital equipment, spare parts or IT hardware, most of your invoicing HSN codes live here.
Rates in this chapter span the range: many general-purpose machines and computers attract 18%, certain agricultural and specified machinery is taxed at 5%, and a small set of items is exempt. Because the chapter is so broad, the correct rate hinges on the precise 4- or 8-digit heading, so match your product carefully in the table rather than assuming a single blanket rate.
Whether you are billing a CNC machine or a desktop computer, look up the exact code below to keep your GST invoice compliant.
HSN Codes & GST Rates
Rates are indicative — verify before you invoice. The rates below are compiled from publicly available GST rate schedules as on July 2026. GST rates and HSN/SAC classifications change through government notifications, and there is no single official consolidated HSN-wise rate list. Always confirm the current rate on the CBIC-GST portal or with a Chartered Accountant before issuing an invoice or filing a return.

What is the HSN code for a laptop or computer?
Computers, laptops and their principal parts are classified under headings 8471 and related sub-headings in Chapter 84. Confirm the specific 8-digit code and rate from the table.
Is agricultural machinery taxed at a lower GST rate?
Several specified agricultural implements and machinery attract a concessional 5% rate rather than 18%. Check the description column carefully, as only notified items qualify.
How many digits of the HSN code do I need to put on my invoice?
It depends on your aggregate annual turnover. Businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore must quote at least a 4-digit HSN code (a 2-digit code is allowed for B2C supplies below the threshold), while those above ₹5 crore must quote a 6-digit code. Many businesses use the full 8-digit code to be safe. SAC codes for services follow the same digit logic.
