What is the GST rate on Diodes, transistors, LEDs and other semiconductors?
GST on Diodes, transistors, LEDs and other semiconductors as on 1 November 2026: 18%. Which rate applies depends on the exact code and on how it is sold or supplied; each entry below names the CBIC notification it comes from.
| New GST rate | Old GST rate (before 22 Sep 2025) | Code | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18% | 18% | 8541 | If you sell semiconductor devices like diodes and transistors, light-sensitive semiconductor devices, LEDs and mounted piezo-electric crystals, GST is 18%. 9/2025-CT(R), entry 513 |

Which code goes on your GST invoice?
With aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore in the previous year, write at least the 4-digit code (8541) on tax invoices to registered buyers (B2B; optional on B2C invoices); above ₹5 crore, the 6-digit code that fits (854110, 854121, 854129, 854130, …) on every tax invoice. The HSN summary in Table 12 of GSTR-1 takes the same digits. Details: invoice rules under Notification 78/2020-Central Tax.
