## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 1001

It includes Wheat & Meslin

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Wheat & Meslin?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Wheat & Meslin are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Wheat & Meslin?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Wheat & Meslin?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

### If I repair and return Wheat & Meslin, 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Wheat & Meslin?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Wheat & Meslin 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.
