Understanding Indian GST HSN & SAC Classification

CBIC guidelines mandate structured classification to eliminate tax disputes and streamline automated GSTR-1 filings.

HSN Code Structure

HSN uses a hierarchical 8-digit international taxonomy:

  • Digits 1-2:Chapter of the commodity
  • Digits 3-4:Heading within chapter
  • Digits 5-6:Sub-heading classification
  • Digits 7-8:Regional tariff item specification

CBIC Digit Requirements

Under official Notification 78/2020-Central Tax:

  • ≤ ₹5 Cr AATO:Minimum 4 digits required on B2B invoices. Optional on B2C.
  • > ₹5 Cr AATO:Minimum 6 digits mandatory on all B2B and B2C invoices.
  • Export / Import:8 digits strictly required regardless of turnover.

GSTR-1 Table 12 Rules

Monthly GSTR-1 returns require Table 12 HSN summaries:

  • Bifurcated Lines:Table 12 requires separate summaries for B2B and B2C sales.
  • UQC Standard:Official CBIC quantity codes (e.g., KGS, NOS, MTR, PCS).
  • Zero Variance:Table 12 taxable value must match total sales turnover.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What happens if I enter an incorrect HSN code on a GST invoice?

Entering an incorrect HSN code may lead to audit notices from the GST department under Section 125 (general penalty up to ₹25,000). Furthermore, if a wrong HSN leads to applying a lower tax rate, your buyer may face input tax credit (ITC) denial during GSTR-2B reconciliation.

Are service providers required to use HSN or SAC codes?

Service providers must use SAC (Services Accounting Code). All SAC codes start with the prefix 99. For example, SAC 9983 covers information technology and consulting services, while SAC 9965 covers freight and goods transport services.

Can I generate an invoice without specifying an HSN code?

For registered taxpayers issuing B2B invoices, reporting at least 4 digits of HSN is mandatory by law. Only unregistered retail consumers buying small value items on non-tax cash memos can be billed without mandatory HSN itemization.
