HSN wise summary in table 12

hello we are a mumbai based service provider to corporates, we are a normal tax payer and our turnover is less than 1.5 cr. 

While filing gstr1 and clicking the submit button we are getting following msg: No records found in Table 12. Add records in Table-12 corresponding to details saved in tables: B2B .

Do we need to fill details in the table 12? Is it mandatory? Or we can go ahead with submission and filing.

Quick Summary
A Mumbai-based service provider with a turnover under 1.5 Cr is seeking clarification on mandatory HSN summary in Table 12 of GSTR1. They've been using SAC codes on invoices and are unsure if they need to switch to 4-digit codes or if Table 12 requires specific entries for B2C invoices when turnover is below 5 Cr. The advice suggests continuing with 6-digit SAC codes on invoices and that quantity for services in Table 12 should be zero, allowing for continued filing.

HSN summary mandatory

Hello thnks for the quick reply!

we provide temp staffing services and turnover is less than 1.5 cr. we have been mentioning SAC code in the invoices which is 998514. 

Now it says if the turnover is less than 5 cr then mentioned 4 digit HSN code. What will be the 4 digit HSN code for temp staffing and do we not have to mention SAC code in invoices now?

First 4 digits 9985...........

thanks a lot, Altamush! One last query: Would it be ok if we continue to mention 6 digits SAC code: 998514 in our invoices or you think we should change it to just 9985 in our invoices too as our turnover is less than 5  Cr. 

 

heading under "total quantity" in table 12 gets greyed out automatically and says zero.  Does it have to say zero? Shall I ignore and file or this needs to be corrected?

You can continue with six digits in you invoice. No problems.

For services quantity to be filled is zero so that is also correct

Continue with your filing

If the turnover is more than 5 crore - 6 digit hsn mandatory
if the turnover upto 5 crore - B2B invoice 4 digit hsn mandatory , B2C invoice 2 digit hsn mandatory
HSN code 3004 ,Pharmaceuticals product has any rate change

Thanks Altamush for the help! 

In this case in Table 12

Should we fill data for B2C Invoices also ?

While B2C invoice with turnover less then 5Cr not required to mention HSN.
