Reference only; post-reform refresh pending. Do not copy a displayed rate into an invoice or return without checking the official HSN/SAC search, the current rate notifications and their effective dates. Consult a CA when the legal description or classification is uncertain.
What is an HSN code?
HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is the WCO's globally standardised system for classifying goods. In India, the code required on an invoice depends on the current rules and transaction. A candidate HSN helps locate the legal entry, but the full description, notification, conditions and effective date determine the treatment.
What is a SAC code?
SAC (Services Accounting Code) is the CBIC's equivalent of HSN for services. Use the official portal to confirm the complete code and the current invoice or reporting requirement for your transaction.
How many HSN digits are required?
The required length can depend on annual aggregate turnover, supply type, e-invoicing applicability and the rule effective for the relevant period. Threshold summaries can become outdated, so do not use an old 2/4/6/8-digit table as filing advice.
Check the current GST invoice and e-invoice guidance for your exact facts, or ask a CA before changing invoice templates or filing data.
Understanding the HSN digit structure
An 8-digit HSN code breaks down into four levels:
| Digits | Level | Example |
|---|---|---|
| First 2 | Chapter | 85 = Electrical machinery & electronics |
| First 4 | Heading | 8517 = Telephone sets & smartphones |
| First 6 | Sub-heading | 851712 = Mobile phones / smartphones |
| All 8 | Tariff item | 85171200 = Specific tariff classification |
Start with the broadest 2-digit chapter to locate your product, then drill down to 4 or 6 digits for the precise classification.
How to find the right HSN or SAC code
- Use the reference search above to identify a candidate only.
- Verify the classification in the official GST HSN/SAC search.
- Check the current notification for the full description, conditions and effective date.
- Consult your CA — if your product is borderline between two headings, a qualified tax professional can advise on the most appropriate classification.
Using the wrong HSN code can result in an incorrect GST rate being charged, potential scrutiny during audits, and mismatches in your ITC (Input Tax Credit) claim. It is worth taking the time to get it right.
HSN codes and BillRaja
BillRaja is a GST billing app built for Indian small businesses. When you add a product to your product catalogue, you can store its HSN or SAC code once. Every time you create an invoice, BillRaja automatically prints the HSN code in the line-item table — just as required by the GST invoice format rules.
BillRaja also generates an HSN-wise summary section on your GSTR-3B-ready reports, grouping your turnover and taxes by HSN chapter so you can fill in Table 12 of your GSTR-1 return without manually tallying codes. You can generate a GST invoice with HSN codes in seconds, and share it via WhatsApp as a PDF — all from your phone.
