Is it possible to add a new HSN code to my GST registration after the initial registration?


Yes, you can add a new Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code after GST registration. An HSN code is a unique identification number assigned to goods and services under GST, which is used to classify them for taxation purposes.

1.       To add a new HSN code, you need to follow the process outlined below:

2.       Login to the GST portal using your credentials.

3.       Go to the Services tab and select User Services, and then click on the Edit/Add/Delete button.

4.       Select the option to Add HSN Code and enter the relevant details, such as the description of the goods or services and the HSN code.

5.       After entering the details, click on the Save button to add the new HSN code to your GST registration.

It is important to note that you must update your GST returns after adding a new HSN code to ensure that the correct tax rate is applied to the goods or services. Failure to do so may result in penalties for non-compliance.

Additionally, it is recommended that you seek professional advice before adding a new HSN code to ensure that you comply with all the relevant GST regulations and avoid any potential penalties.

Furthermore, adding a new HSN code may impact your input tax credit (ITC) eligibility, as certain goods or services may not be eligible for ITC. Therefore, it is crucial to check the ITC eligibility of the new HSN code before adding it to your GST registration.

In conclusion, adding a new HSN code after GST registration is a simple process that can be completed through the GST portal. However, it is important to ensure that you comply with all the relevant GST regulations and seek professional advice before making any changes to your GST registration.
