Comprehensive Guide to HSN & SAC Codes in India
Understand CBIC turnover thresholds, digit requirements, Table 12 GSTR-1 reporting, and avoid costly Section 125 non-compliance penalties.
1. HSN Code (Goods) vs SAC Code (Services)
Two complementary classification systems governing Indian taxation
Applies exclusively to tangible physical goods. Maintained globally by the World Customs Organization (WCO) with over 5,000 commodity groups. Adopted by India with a 2-digit chapter, 2-digit heading, 2-digit sub-heading, and 2-digit regional tariff structure.
Applies exclusively to intangible professional services. Uniformly standardized by the CBIC under Chapter 99. Every valid SAC code in India begins with the prefix "99".
2. Mandatory Digits by Turnover (CBIC Notification 78/2020)
Statutory digit rules enforced across all Indian tax invoices
Mandatory 4 digits on all B2B invoices. Optional for B2C retail supplies to consumers.
Mandatory 6 digits on all B2B and B2C tax invoices without exception.
Full 8-digit tariff code mandatory for cross-border exports and notified chemical goods.
3. Non-Compliance Risks & Return Filing
Avoiding penalties under Section 125 of the CGST Act
Section 125 General Penalty
Quoting incorrect HSN codes to evade higher tax slabs or omitting HSN codes where mandatory can attract a general penalty of up to ₹25,000 under CGST and ₹25,000 under SGST (total ₹50,000 per violation).
GSTR-1 Table 12 Auto-Validation
The GST portal cross-verifies Table 12 HSN summaries with the total taxable turnover in Table 4 (B2B) and Table 7 (B2C). Mismatched rates or missing codes will cause filing errors.
