## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 5210

It includes Cotton Woven Fabrics

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Cotton Woven Fabrics?

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.

### What should my invoice and records include for Cotton Woven Fabrics?

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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Cotton Woven Fabrics?

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 Cotton Woven Fabrics?

If your outward supply of Cotton Woven Fabrics 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Cotton Woven Fabrics?

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