Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 15161000 and GST compliance.
It includes Animal Fats & Oils
Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Animal Fats & Oils; Nil for exempt items if applicable).
For many agri/food items, GST applies at 5% when they are not fresh/chilled and are sold as pre‑packaged & labelled. Loose or fresh/chilled forms may be Nil.
Generate an e‑way bill if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000 (subject to exemptions). e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.
If your outward supply is taxable (5%/12% etc.), eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
Use the exact HSN and the correct form (fresh/chilled vs. frozen/dried; PPL vs. not). Apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.
