Which code goes on your GST invoice?
With aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore in the previous year, write at least the 4-digit code (9030) on tax invoices to registered buyers (B2B; optional on B2C invoices); above ₹5 crore, the 6-digit code that fits (903010, 903020, 903031, 903032, …) on every tax invoice. The HSN summary in Table 12 of GSTR-1 takes the same digits. Details: invoice rules under Notification 78/2020-Central Tax.
