Put the code in the HSN column of the tax invoice. Notification No. 78/2020-Central Tax sets the minimum digits by aggregate turnover in the previous financial year: 4 digits (8544) up to ₹5 crore, which may be left off invoices to unregistered buyers, and 6 digits (from the table above) above ₹5 crore. Where the table shows more than one rate, charge the rate of the entry whose description fits the goods sold.
