Is Chapter/Heading of both kinds of sheets the same or different ? Chapter 48 and 63 both. Pl. elaborate in detail.

Sir, Chapter/Heading of both kinds of bedsheets is same ie 63 but selling in different units like dozens, sets. For example he is selling bedsheets 7200/ dozen then one bedsheet costs 600. Then whether he have to charge 5% or 12%. As per tariff, the selling unit should be piece for counting rate of duty.

Yours is not a case of mixed supply. Example quoted by you attract GST @ 5 %. You are selling a single item.

Relevant extract of Board's Flyer No.4 dated 1.1.18

 

Mixed Supply

Under GST, a mixed supply means two or more individual supplies of goods or services, or any combination thereof, made in conjunction with each other by a taxable person for a single price where such supply does not constitute a composite supply;

Illustration : A supply of a package consisting of canned foods, sweets, chocolates, cakes, dry fruits, aerated drinks and fruit juices when supplied for a single, price is a mixed supply. Each of these items can be supplied separately and is not dependent on any other. It shall not be a mixed supply if these items are supplied separately.

In order to identify if the particular supply is a Mixed Supply, the first requisite is to rule out that the supply is a composite supply. A supply can be a mixed supply only if it is not a composite supply. As a corollary it can be said that if the transaction consists of supplies not naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business then it would be a Mixed Supply. Once the amenability of the transaction as a composite supply is ruled out, it would be a mixed supply, classified in terms of a supply of goods or services attracting highest rate of tax.

Selling in dozens, sets etc are method of supply/despatch. It will not alter the price of the product.

Dear Sh.Kalyani Ji,

Your one sentence, rather, two words' has given final touch to my views.

"Selling in dozens, sets etc are method of supply/despatch. It will not alter the price of the product."

Well expressed.

You have to depict the UOM as mentioned against the HSN only, as it is statutory required.
