This discussion clarifies the mandatory reporting of HSN codes in GSTR1. While some sources suggest it's optional for small dealers below ₹1.5 crore turnover, current regulations require all GST taxpayers to report HSN codes. Taxpayers with turnover below ₹5 crore must use at least a 4-digit HSN code, with 6-digit codes mandatory for those above ₹5 crore and 8-digit codes for imports/exports. The penalties for non-compliance are also a key concern for smaller businesses.
