GST Rate on Inverters & UPS: 18%

HSN 850440 · 9% CGST + 9% SGST intra-state, or 18% IGST interstate.

Inverters, UPS systems, and other static converters attract 18% GST under sub-heading 850440. Note the battery is often the pricier half of a home-backup setup — and if it's lead-acid, it carries 28%, so a combo purchase mixes two rates.

Frequently asked questions

Billed as separate line items, each takes its own rate — 18% on the inverter, 28% on a lead-acid battery. Sold as a single bundled price, composite-supply rules apply and the principal supply's rate governs.

For a sale within one state, the 18% splits equally into 9% CGST and 9% SGST. For an interstate sale it is charged as a single 18% IGST — the total tax is the same either way.
