under:<\/p>\n<p><strong>85286200<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This can include qualifying projectors designed for use with computers in environments such as:<\/p>\n<ul

screen size.<\/p>\n<h3>Computer Monitors Not Exceeding 32 Inches<\/h3>\n<p>Computer monitors with a screen size <strong>not exceeding 32 inches<\/strong> generally attract:<\/p>\n<p><strong>18% GST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For an applicable intra-state supply:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>\n<p>9% CGST<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>9% SGST<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Larger or Other Monitors<\/h3>\n<p>Other monitors under Heading 8528 that do not fall within the specific 18% entry generally attract:<\/p>\n<p><strong>28% GST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This makes screen size and product classification important when determining the GST rate.<\/p>\n<h2>GST Rate on Projectors<\/h2>\n<p>Projectors falling under the applicable HSN 8528 classification generally attract:<\/p>\n<p><strong>28% GST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For an applicable intra-state supply:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>\n<p>14% CGST<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>14%

projectors do not fall within that specific 18% monitor concession.<\/p>\n<h2>Difference Between HSN 85285200 and 85285900<\/h2>\n<p>The main difference is the intended use of the monitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>85285200<\/strong> applies to monitors capable of directly connecting to and designed for use with automatic data processing machines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>85285900<\/strong> applies to other monitors that do not fit that specific computer-monitor description.<\/p>\n<p>The classification should therefore be based on the monitor\u2019s actual specifications and intended use.<\/p>\n<h2>Difference Between HSN 85286200 and 85286900<\/h2>\n<p>The distinction for projectors follows a similar principle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>85286200<\/strong> applies to projectors designed for direct connection to and use with automatic data processing machines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>85286900<\/strong> covers other projectors under Heading 8528.<\/p>\n<h2>Computer Monitor vs Television Classification<\/h2>\n<p>A computer monitor and television may look similar but do not necessarily receive the same tariff treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The classification depends on factors such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>\n<p>Whether television reception apparatus is incorporated<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Whether the device is primarily designed for computer use<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Display functionality<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Connectivity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Intended principal use<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Businesses should classify the product according to its technical
