03 August 2025 As of 6 August 2013, the VAT rate on solar fans varied by state, since VAT was a state-level tax in India before GST.
✅ General Classification:
In most states, solar energy products — including solar fans — were either:
Exempted from VAT, or
Taxed at a concessional rate (typically 5% or lower)
🗂 Examples:
Maharashtra: Often taxed solar products at 5% or provided exemptions under specific notifications.
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Delhi: Usually provided exemption for solar energy equipment (including solar panels, water heaters, fans, etc.).
Punjab: Had specific schedules listing solar energy devices as exempt or taxable at low rates.
📌 Action Point:
To confirm the exact rate applicable on 6 August 2013, you need to:
Refer to the VAT schedule (Schedule I or II) of the concerned state, or
Check for notification or circular issued by that state’s Commercial Tax Department.
