..... ent of rice flour, wheat flour, wheat granules is very high and thereby falling under either of headings 1101, 1102 or 1103 instead of heading 1106. Hence all these sub-headings alongwith their chapter notes as well as explanatory notes to HSN will have to be looked into. In order to determine the classification of the above 18 items, we will be first required to refer to the Notification No.01/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 containing the headings, sub-headings as well as the rates of Central Tax GST applicable to various goods, which are covered under 6 schedules. Recently, the Government has issued Circular No.80 dated 31.12.2018 containing clarification regarding GST rate and classification of some goods in which clarification has been issued with respect to classification of Chhatua or Sattu, which is a mixture of flour of ground pulses and cereals. The purpose of this circular being discussed here is that the said circular appears to be squarely applicable in the instant case. The issue regarding classification of Chhatua or Sattu as appearing in the said Circular - it can be seen from the above that HSN code1106 includes the flour, meal and powder made from peas .....

..... cal order among those which equally merit consideration. Rice flour is classifiable under heading 1102 whereas leguminous flour is classifiable under heading 1106 and specific sub-heading 11061000. Hence the aforementioned products would be rightly classified under Sub-heading 11061000 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (1 of 1975). The same will fall at Sr.No.59 of Schedule-I of Notification No.01/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 (as amended vide Notification No.27/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 22.09.2017 on which GST payable is 5%.

Whether chutney powder when supplied with Gota mix flour and Bhajiya mix flour, should be considered as Composite supply as stated by the applicant? - HELD THAT:- Chutney powder and Gota mix flour or Chutney powder and Bhajiya mix flour are not naturally bundled and are not supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business as they can be supplied separately or independently in the ordinary course of business. We therefore conclude that Chutney powder supplied with Gota mix flour or Bhajiya mix flour cannot be considered a composite supply - applicant has submitted that he provides Chutney powder in a pouch along with Gota Mix and Bhajiya Mix and no extra amount is collected for such Chutney powder and that he is charging a single price for the combined supply of Gota Mix and Chutney powder or Bhajiya Mix and Chutney powder.

Cereal groats are small fragments or floury kernels obtained by the rough grinding of grains. Meal is a more granular product than flour and is obtained either from the first sifting after the initial milling operation, or by re-grinding and re-sifting the groats resulting from that initial milling. Durum wheat meal or, semolina, is the principal raw material in the manufacture of macaroni, spaghetti or the like.

Further the dictionary meaning of Sattu is as under: Sattu is flour from the Indian subcontinent consisting of a mixture of ground pulses and cereals. The dry powder is prepared in various ways as a principal or secondary ingredient of dishes. Thus, it can be seen from the above that HSN code1106 includes the flour, meal and powder made from peas, beans or lentils (dried leguminous vegetables falling under 0713) and such flour improved by the addition of very small amounts of additives continues to be classified under HSN code 1106. 12.6 It is seen that products obtained from milling of dried leguminous vegetable including peas, lentils are covered under heading 11.06 and by milling of cereals (in the instant case) fall under headings 11.01, 11.02 or 1103.
