13 August 2025 What Are Dolochar / Coalchar?
These are by-products of sponge iron manufacturing and hence fall under the category of coal or mineral products typically sold or traded.
Are They Subject to TCS?
Yes, but only under certain conditions:
Section 206C(1) of the IT Act mandates TCS at 1% on the sale of specified minerals including coal, lignite, and iron ore.

Therefore, if Dolochar qualifies as a coal derivative used for trading purposes, TCS @1% applies unless exemptions are applicable.

“Dalochar emerges as a by-product in manufacturing of Sponge Iron”
— implying its classification under TCS-liable mineral category.
