Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4801 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4801

It includes Newsprint, in rolls or sheets

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Newsprint, in rolls or sheets?

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 should I document Newsprint, in rolls or sheets sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Newsprint, in rolls or sheets 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Newsprint, in rolls or sheets?

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 MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Newsprint, in rolls or sheets?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

What should my invoice and records include for Newsprint, in rolls or sheets?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.
