Classification of Goods — Seeking an advance ruling in respect of the following question.

“Whether transformers supplied to Indian Railways can be classified as ‘Parts of railway or tramway locomotives or rolling stock’ under HSN ‘8607’ and thereby subjected to GST@ 5% or the transformers shall be categorized under HSN 8504 and subjected to GST@ 18%?”

In view of the discussions made above, subject Transformers, though used in Railway coaches, cannot be called as parts of railway bogies under Chapter Headings 8607 of the Tariff, due to the specific HSN available for transformer and therefore, the Entry no.241 of Schedule 1 of Notification No. 1/2017 C.T. (Rate) dt. 28.06.2017 does not applies to subject Transformers.

Hence in view of the above discussions, we find that the subject Transformers, manufactured and supplied for use in railway, locomotives are classifiable under HSN 8504 and not under HSN 8607. Hence, rate of tax thereon is applicable as per the Sr. no. 375 of Schedule III of the Notification 1/2017 C.T. (Rate) dt. 28.06.2017 @ 18% under GST ACT w.e.f 01.7.2017. — Rishab Industries, In Re… [2020] 20 TAXLOK.COM 090 (AAR-Maharashtra)
