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. ### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Sauces & seasonings? If your outward supply of Sauces & seasonings 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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Sauces & seasonings? Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Sauces & seasonings? 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 Sauces & seasonings, 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 2103 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
