What is the HSN code for diesel?
Diesel falls under HSN 2710, in chapter 27 (Mineral fuels and oils).
High speed diesel sits in subheading 271019 but is outside GST, like petrol and ATF. Other oils in the same subheading, such as furnace oil and lubricating oil, are inside GST, so the product name matters more than the code here. Businesses cannot claim input tax credit on diesel because no GST is charged on it.
