Outward HSN details in Table 17 - unable to enter more than 6 HSN codes - Reg.

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
The GSTR 9 return filing has a limitation in Table 17, allowing only up to six HSN codes to be entered. If you have more than six, you need to consolidate them. The GST portal does not permit entering a seventh HSN code. It's recommended to report the six most significant HSN codes that account for the majority of your turnover and group the remaining minor HSN codes under an 'Others' category. Ensure you maintain detailed working papers to reconcile the turnover figures between Table 4 and Table 17 for auditors and assessing officers.

25 December 2025 Dear Experts,

While preparing the GSTR 9 return. we could not enter more than six HSN codes in Table
17. Is there any limit for this ? We have been trying for 3 or 4 days and still, we could not
enter the 7th HSN code. If all the HSN codes are not entered, the turnover will not match
with that, entered in Table 4. What to do ? Pls. Advice.

25 December 2025 GST portal currently restricts entry of only six HSN codes in Table 17 of GSTR‑9. If you have more than six, you must consolidate them and report the major HSNs covering most of your turnover. The portal does not allow entry of the 7th code, so reconciliation with Table 4 must be explained in your working papers and audit notes.
Group minor HSN codes under “Others” and disclose only the six most significant HSNs that cover the majority of turnover.
Maintain reconciliation: Prepare a working paper showing how turnover in Table 4 maps to the six HSNs in Table 17, with explanatory notes for auditors and AO.
