How steam is generated ? By way of coal or other manner ?

[KARAN VERMA]

By coal.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Classifiable under Chapter/Heading No.2811 (under Residuary entry)-Others. My reply is based on one case law pertaining to pre-GST era.

Dear Ramnirajan,

AI Summary

HSN classification for steam remains disputed after forum replies suggested conflicting chapter headings and codes.
A forum query on the correct HSN code for sale of steam elicited conflicting responses: one participant, citing pre GST case law, suggested Chapter/Heading 2811 as a residuary entry; others countered that 2811 covers inorganic oxygen compounds. Alternative codes proposed included 285300 and 28539090, and a respondent asserted a specific GST rate for steam. The discussion ends without authoritative clarification, evidencing uncertainty over the proper HSN/HS code and tax treatment for steam supplied under GST.
