dy given by me, Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani, Sir and supported by Sh.Mukund Thakkar Sir is correct. – Reply By Jhankar Nathvani – The Reply = There should some important facts about this matter need to consider:1) Customer buying UPS System for back up power, that system can not work without battery. Only supply of battery can not give back up power and vice versa.2) There are some UPS have inside battery, those are imported with Inside battery and IGST applied at the time of import is 18%3) The UPS need longer back up, connect battery outside the UPS, that is just different version of UPS having battery insideIf there is different HSN code for the UPS with battery inside or battery outside ? There is no clarification on the schedule of GST about inside battery or outside battery.The opinion here recall the story of 4 blind discribe elephant, every one is true from one direction but doesn't cover the real fact.The authentic solution is to put your question before the Advance Ruling Authori
