The AAR held that fly ash bricks are classifiable under HSN 6815 99 10 and, with effect from 18.07.2022, attract GST at 12% (CGST) irrespective of fly ash percentage; the prior fly-ash-content condition has been omitted and the applicant is not entitled to a concessional 6% rate. The supply is taxable under the normal taxation mechanism (not reverse charge). Fly ash bricks are not exempt merely by virtue of recycled/sustainable content and no special concessional treatment applies for supplies to Government/PSUs. A manufacturer may avail ITC on inputs and input services if otherwise eligible when charging 12%; the Composition Scheme is unavailable to manufacturers of fly ash bricks. The GST treatment of raw fly ash was held outside the AAR's remit.
