We have gst turnover of above Rs5 crores. We make purchases from concerns whose turnover are below 5 crores and so they mention 4 digit hsn code on their invoices. We are supposed to mention 6 digit hsn code on our sales invoices? How will we mention 6 digit hsn code for goods which are purchased from dealers giving 4 digit hsn code? Pl clarify? In gst returns also we will not be able to give 6 digit hsn code for those goods?
