FAQ :
The requirement to declare HSN codes on tax invoices came into effect from 1st April 2021.
Taxpayers with an aggregate turnover of up to Rs. 5 crores in the preceding financial year need to report 4 digits of the HSN code. Those with an aggregate turnover above Rs. 5 crores must report 6 digits.
Some taxpayers have reported that their HSN codes are not available in the GSTR-1 dropdown (Table 12) and are facing difficulties adding them. They've also encountered errors when using the offline tool, such as blank HSN fields and duplicate invoice numbers.
