HSN codes for a kirana or general store.

01 · Worth knowing

Loose and packed are not the same line

A kirana sells the same rice loose from the sack and in a pre-packed, labelled bag, and GST can treat the two differently under one heading. That is why this page gives the code and not the rate: set the rate on each item once, and every bill after uses it.

• Codes and plain descriptions only
• No rate is stated for any code
• Check a rate before you rely on it
• Any code not listed is on the GST portal

02 · On the bill

Where these codes go on a bill

The code goes on each line of a GST tax invoice, beside the item. In BillCountr it is saved on the item and suggested from this list as you add it; it prints on bills from the Android app once the HSN field is switched on in your bill settings. Bills made on a computer do not print it yet.

• One code per line, beside the item
• Suggested as you add the item
• Saved once, on the item
• Printed when the HSN field is on
