FAQs for Sub Chapter 5201

What products are classified under HSN 5201

It includes Cotton, combed or not

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Cotton, combed or not?

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 Cotton, combed or not?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Cotton, combed or not 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.

How should I document Cotton, combed or not sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cotton, combed or not 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.

How are warranty replacements of Cotton, combed or not handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Cotton, combed or not?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Cotton, combed or not are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
