Introduction

The launch of Goods and Services Tax in India in July 2017 has mandated every company, partnership business, or proprietor to file their tax returns both yearly and monthly.  Moreover, every business needs to highlight the right HSN or Harmonized System of Nomenclature. These codes are used to categorize diverse goods to ease the GST calculations. On the other hand, GST authorities may categorize and identify the products they want to sell. Here, we will highlight the GST Rates and HSN Codes of every item classified under Chapter 34.
