Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the mandatory HSN code requirements for businesses in India. For turnovers up to £5 crore, 4-digit HSN codes are generally mandatory on invoices and GSTR 1, except for B2C supplies. Failure to comply could result in penalties. It's advised to include HSN codes, especially for B2B and interstate transactions, to avoid issues.

No HSN code is not required as turnover is less than 1.5 crores rupees
4 digits HSN code is mandatory in invoices and in GSTR1 from 1/4/2021 turn over up to 5 crore .
4 digits HSN code is mandatory in your case..
If turnover is up to 5 Crores, Only in the case of B2C supply, HSN code is not mandatory. Otherwise, 4 digit HSN code is mandatory. Non-compliance may result in a Penalty of up to Rs.25,000/-

The dept can impose general penalty but the chances are less I think. Hereafter ensure to include 4 digit HSN code at least in respect of B2B transactions

Thank you very much for all of experts suggestion
Not mandatory b2c only,but interstate and bulk quantity is mandatory otherwise tax and penalty leviable.

The mandatory reporting of HSN codes was introduced while preparing the GSTR-1 return from 1st April 2021. As per the revised declaration, taxpayers with an annual aggregate turnover of more than Rs. 5 crore must mandatorily declare six digits of the HSN code on all the tax invoices.
