GST rate and HSN code for television
GST on a TV is 18% (HSN 8528) from 22 September 2025, for every screen size. PIB lists TV sets under 8528 moving from 28% to 18%. The entry also covers LED and LCD TVs, computer monitors, projectors and set top boxes. A 55-inch TV sold after 22 September 2025 carries 18%, not 28%.

What to print on the bill
- Print HSN 8528 at 18% for TVs, monitors and set top boxes.
- Wall-mount kits sold separately: use their own HSN.
- Installation charges billed separately are a service; ask your CA.
- HSN digits: 4 if your turnover last year was up to ₹5 crore, 6 above that; up to ₹5 crore you may leave HSN off bills to unregistered buyers (Notification 78/2020-CT). More in B2C bill rules.
Common mistakes
- Still billing large TVs at 28%.
- Using 8517 for smart TVs.
