FAQ :
Taxpayers with an Aggregate Annual Turnover (AATO) of 5 Crore and above are required to use the 6-digit HSN code.
The mandate for using a minimum of 6 digits of the HSN code on e-invoices comes into effect from December 15th, 2023.
HSN stands for Harmonized System of Nomenclature, which is a standardized international system for classifying products.
The change aims to enhance transparency, streamline the tax reporting process, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the GST framework by capturing more detailed transaction information.
Businesses falling within the specified turnover range should update their invoicing systems to ensure they can generate e-invoices with the required 6-digit HSN code.
