HSN code mandatory or Not ?

Mandatory for all supplier from 1st April 2021

Please suggest any circular or notification in your reply

The 1st Proviso to Rule 46 of CGST Rules 2017 has been amended, vide Notification No.79/2020-CT dated 15-10-2020, for declaration of HSN code in invoice. Under this amended Proviso, Notification No. 78/2020 – Central Tax, dated 15.10.2020 has been issued to make HSN code mandatory up to 4 digits in the B2B invoices with effect from 01.04.2021 issued by taxpayers whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is upto Rs. 5 crores. For the taxpayers whose turnover in the preceding financial year is more than Rs. 5 crores, HSN code is mandatory up to 6 digits in invoices with effect from 01.04.2021.

Thank you Bhaumik for a best clarification.
