The harmonized system of nomenclature also for short goes as HSN code in GST registration. This is an eight digital numerical code used for identifying the estimate of applying GST on supposed products as per the CGST (central GST) rules. Now to this account, if some company has a turnover of Rs. 1.5 cr but then up to Rs 5 cr in a financial year then they wouldn’t need to mention the 2 digit HSN code during the supply of their goods or services in the invoices. However, if that turnover exceeds RS 5cr then they will have to mention 4 digit HSN code on their invoices.
