These are 4-digit HSN headings and SAC groups, the level most small businesses print. Check the exact 6 or 8 digits and the GST rate for your item on the supplier's bill, the GST portal's HSN search or with your CA.
What is an HSN code?
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is the international number for goods. The first 6 digits are the same all over the world; India uses up to 8. Services have their own code, the SAC, which starts with 99 and has 6 digits, for example 996511 for road transport of goods.
The GST rate on a bill follows the HSN or SAC of what you sell, so a wrong code can mean the wrong tax. Both go in the same HSN/SAC column of the invoice.
How many HSN digits must your invoice show?
If last year's turnover was up to ₹5 crore, a bill to a registered buyer (B2B) must show at least 4 digits; on a bill to a consumer (B2C) it is optional. Above ₹5 crore, every bill needs at least 6 digits. Writing more digits than required is fine; fewer is not. Exporters and importers use 8.
Your HSN-wise totals also go into the HSN summary of GSTR-1 (table 12), B2B and B2C separately. The full guide, in Hindi, is HSN code kya hai.
How to use this finder, and what it does not do
Type what you sell in plain words. The list narrows as you type and matches the description, Hindi names such as atta, doodh, kapda or sabun, and the code itself. Each result is a 4-digit heading (goods) or a SAC group (services).
It does not give GST rates. The rate depends on the exact item inside a heading and changes with notifications, so a rate shown next to a 4-digit heading would often be wrong. For the 2025 slabs (5%, 18% and 40%) see the new GST rates guide, and confirm your item's rate on the supplier's bill, the GST portal or with your CA.
HSN codes in VyapRise
In VyapRise you save the HSN or SAC and the GST rate on the item once, and they come on every bill, print and report by themselves. The item form has this same finder built in: it shows the codes of your own items first, then these common headings (on every plan).
At return time the HSN summary report adds up the quantity, taxable value and tax of each code from your bills, ready for GSTR-1 table 12 (GST reports are part of Pro). To make one bill now, use the free GST invoice generator.
HSN code finder: common questions
How do I find the HSN code of my product?
Type the product in the finder above to get its 4-digit heading. Then check the full code on your supplier's purchase bill, which already carries it, or on the GST portal's HSN search. If it is still unclear, ask your CA once and save the code on the item.
Does this finder show the GST rate?
No. The GST rate depends on the exact item, not the 4-digit heading, and it changes with notifications. Use the supplier's bill, the GST portal or your CA for the rate, and the GST calculator to work out the tax.
Is a 4-digit HSN code enough on my invoice?
Yes, if last year's turnover was up to ₹5 crore: 4 digits are required on B2B bills and optional on B2C bills. Above ₹5 crore, every bill needs at least 6 digits.
What is the difference between HSN and SAC?
HSN is for goods and SAC is for services. SAC codes start with 99 and have 6 digits, for example 996511 for road transport of goods. Both are printed in the same HSN/SAC column.
Is the HSN code finder free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the search runs in your browser.
