Mixed Flour Preparations for Indian Snacks Attract 18% GST Under HSN 2106 90 Despite Flour Being Key Component

February 3, 2025

Case Laws     GST     AAAR

AAAR determined instant mix flours for traditional Indian snacks and dishes cannot be classified under Chapter 11 (HSN 1101, 1102, or 1106) despite flour being a key component. Products were classified under HSN 2106 90 attracting 18% GST, as they constitute food preparations not specified elsewhere. The tribunal rejected appellant's argument that preparation requirements disqualify products from Chapter 21 classification. When supplied with accompaniments (chutney powder, masala pack), these constitute mixed supplies rather than naturally bundled composite supplies. Essential character test under Rule 3(b) of GRI was found inapplicable as products are explicitly excluded from Chapter 11 classification based on their composition.
