Dear Expert,
Recently the item 'paddy husk' is classified under schedule entry 62 of Schedule-II taxing @ 5%. Previously it was classified under Schedule-I as exempt. the wording was 'de-oiled paddy husk or outer covering of paddy'.
I request to clarify that whether de-oiled paddy husk is different from paddy husk. Will de-oiled paddy husk will remain tax free and only paddy husk will be taxable.
Kindly clarify.
regards,
ganeshan
