GSTN defers mandatory implementation of 6-Digit HSN in e-Invoices and e-Way Bills in India.

  • The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has postponed the mandatory implementation of the 6-Digit HSN Code in e-Invoices and e-Way Bills in India.
  • The e-invoice System requires GST registered individuals to upload all their B2B invoices onto the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
  • The IRP then generates a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and digitally signs the invoice.
  • The implementation of the 6-Digit HSN Code was initially scheduled to be mandatory from April 1, 2021.
  • However, the GSTN has decided to defer this requirement for now.
  • The new implementation date for the 6-Digit HSN Code will be announced later.
  • This decision provides relief to businesses as they will have more time to comply with the new requirement.
  • The 6-Digit HSN Code is used to classify goods and services for taxation purposes.
  • It is important for businesses to accurately classify their products to ensure proper tax calculation and compliance.
