For Paddy, the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is 1001. As for the GST rate applicable:
- **Purchase from agriculturist:** Typically, paddy purchased directly from agriculturists (farmers) is exempted from GST under certain conditions, specifically if it is unprocessed. However, GST may apply if purchased from a registered dealer.
- **Sales to Rice Mills:** If you are selling paddy to rice mills, it falls under the GST rate of 0% (Nil). This means no GST is applicable on the sale of paddy to rice mills.
It's important to ensure compliance with GST regulations and consult with a tax advisor for specific details regarding exemptions and conditions for purchase from agriculturists.
