HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) classifies goods — physical products like textiles, electronics, food. SAC (Services Accounting Code) classifies services — professional fees, transport, software. Both are used on GST invoices; choose HSN for goods and SAC for services.
BP codes (Business / Profession codes under CBDT) classify the nature of your business or profession in ITR-3 / ITR-4. Declare the matching 5-digit code in Schedule BP of your return — incorrect BP codes trigger notice under section 142(1).
NIC (National Industrial Classification) codes classify business activities for government registrations like MSME/Udyam, new GST registration, and Import Export Code (IEC). While HSN/SAC are used on transaction invoices, NIC is used to register your enterprise.
For turnover above ₹5 crore, use 6-digit HSN codes on every invoice. For turnover above ₹1 crore (up to ₹5 crore), 4-digit HSN codes are sufficient. Turnover ≤ ₹1 crore does not require HSN codes on B2C invoices.
