This discussion addresses the correct HSN code format for invoices, specifically whether to use 4 or 6 digits. According to GST regulations, businesses with a turnover above ₹5 crore must use a 6-digit HSN code, while those below this threshold can use a 4-digit code. This requirement for 6-digit HSN codes has been in effect since April 2021.
1) One of our clients has issued E-invoice by mentioning 4 digit HSN. 2) One of our clients has issued Tax Invoice by mentioning 4 digit HSN (Turnover above 5Cr.)
In the above case, what we do? Also request you to kindly guide what course of action to be done?
