The Indian tariff also separately identifies other centrifugal pumps, reciprocating pumps, engine-related pumps and liquid elevators.
GST Rate on Pumps for Liquids in India
Most power-driven liquid pumps attract 18% GST in India.
For supplies taxable at 18%, the tax is calculated as:
- Intra-state sales: 9% CGST + 9% SGST
- Inter-state sales: 18% IGST
However, qualifying hand pumps and their parts attract 5% GST.
The applicable rate depends on the exact product description in the GST rate notification. Businesses should not apply one GST rate to every product under HSN 8413.
GST Calculation Example
Suppose a machinery dealer sells a centrifugal water pump for ₹25,000, excluding GST.
| Particular | Amount |
|---|---|
| Taxable Value | ₹25,000 |
| GST @ 18% | ₹4,500 |
| Total Invoice Value | ₹29,500 |
For an intra-state transaction, the GST amount consists of ₹2,250 CGST and ₹2,250 SGST.
Types of Pumps Covered Under HSN 8413
1. Centrifugal Pumps – HSN 841370
Centrifugal pumps use a rotating impeller to move liquids.
They are commonly used in water supply systems, agriculture, manufacturing and industrial processes.
Centrifugal pumps primarily designed to handle water are classified under 84137010 and generally attract 18% GST.
Other centrifugal pumps may have different eight-digit tariff classifications.
2. Rotary Positive Displacement Pumps – HSN 841360
Rotary positive displacement pumps move liquids by trapping and transferring a fixed quantity of fluid through rotating components.
Common classifications include:
- 84136010: Gear-type pumps
- 84136020: Screw-type pumps
- 84136090: Other rotary positive displacement pumps
These pumps generally attract 18% GST.
3. Reciprocating Pumps – HSN 841350
Reciprocating pumps use a piston, plunger or diaphragm mechanism to move liquids.
They are commonly used for applications requiring controlled liquid movement or high pressure.
Metering and dosing pumps fall under HSN 84135010.
The applicable GST rate is generally 18%.
4. Hand Pumps – HSN 84132000
Hand pumps are manually operated devices used to draw or transfer liquids.
Qualifying hand pumps classified under 84132000 attract 5% GST.
This concessional treatment also applies to specified hand-pump parts, subject to the relevant GST entry.
5. Fuel-Dispensing Pumps – HSN 841311
Pumps designed for dispensing fuel or lubricants at filling stations and garages fall under HSN 841311.
These pumps generally attract 18% GST.
They should not be confused with fuel pumps used inside internal combustion engines, which fall under a separate subheading.
How to Choose the Correct HSN Code for a Liquid Pump
Businesses should identify the pump’s operating mechanism and intended use before selecting an HSN code.
For example:
- A centrifugal pump primarily designed to handle water may fall under 84137010.
- A gear-type pump may fall under 84136010.
- A metering or dosing pump may fall under 84135010.
- A qualifying manually operated hand pump may fall under 84132000.
The same broad product name can cover pumps with different classifications.
For accurate GST invoicing, businesses should confirm the eight-digit tariff classification using the product’s technical specifications and the applicable GST notification.
