Reference only. HSN codes and GST rates may change following GST Council notifications. This list is curated from CBIC/GST rate references — always verify on the official GST HSN/SAC search or the CBIC GST rate finder, or consult your CA, before using them on tax invoices.
What is an HSN code?
HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is the WCO's globally standardised system for classifying goods, used by 200+ countries. In India it is mandatory on GST tax invoices — every product, from soap to a laptop, has an HSN code that ties the invoice line to a specific GST slab (0–28%) and keeps your GSTR-1 and e-invoice correctly classified.
What is a SAC code?
SAC (Services Accounting Code) is the CBIC's equivalent of HSN for services — 6-digit codes for every taxable service, e.g. restaurant meals (996331), software development (998314), gym memberships (999722). Any GST invoice for a service must carry its SAC code.
How many HSN digits are required?
India's HSN requirement depends on your annual aggregate turnover (AAT) in the previous financial year:
- Up to ₹1.5 crore: No HSN mandatory on B2C invoices; optional on B2B.
- ₹1.5 crore – ₹5 crore: 2-digit HSN on B2B invoices.
- Above ₹5 crore: 4-digit HSN on all invoices (B2B and B2C).
- e-invoicing (above ₹5 crore): 6-digit HSN is required on all e-invoices uploaded to the IRP.
- Export invoices: Always require the full 8-digit HSN code.
Voluntarily using 6 or 8 digits even when not required is always permitted and is best practice for accurate ITC reconciliation.
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 search tool above — type the product or service name, or the first few digits of a code you already know.
- Verify on the GST portal — visit gst.gov.in → Services → User Services → Search HSN/SAC.
- Check the Customs Tariff — the CBIC publishes the full tariff schedule with 8-digit codes.
- 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.
