Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0601 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0601

It includes Dormant Plants & Roots

Any special steps when selling Dormant Plants & Roots through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Dormant Plants & Roots?

If your outward supply of Dormant Plants & Roots is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Dormant Plants & Roots?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Dormant Plants & Roots?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Dormant Plants & Roots is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

If I repair and return Dormant Plants & Roots, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.

How should I document Dormant Plants & Roots sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Dormant Plants & Roots to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.
