I agree with both experts. See HSN 2505 Rate of tax 5 % (2.5 + 2.5) . Serial No.113 of Notification No.1/17-CT(R) dated 20.6.17 as amended up to 30.9.21.

AI Summary

GST on sand: supplies for construction are taxable under tariff classification and notifications, no exemption.
Supplies of river sand and other types of sand for construction and infrastructure are not exempt from GST; they are taxable supplies under the applicable tariff classification and notification entry, and the supply of sand used in construction must be treated under the prescribed GST schedule rather than as an exempt supply.
