Wheat falls under HSN 1001, in chapter 10 (Cereals).
Heading 1001 covers the whole grain only. Once wheat is milled it moves to chapter 11: whole wheat flour (atta) and maida go to heading 1101 and suji or semolina to 1103. Wheat sold as seed for sowing has its own subheading, and seeds meant for sowing are nil rated.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 100111 | Durum wheat, seed |
| 100119 | Durum wheat, other |
| 100191 | Other wheat and meslin, seed |
| 100199 | Other wheat and meslin (common bread wheat) |
The GST rate on wheat is nil or 5%. Nil when sold loose or in a pack that is not prepacked and labelled. 5% when prepacked and labelled, that is a retail pack that must carry Legal Metrology declarations (packs up to 25 kg or 25 litres). Bulk packs above 25 kg stay nil.
| GST rate | Within a state | Between states |
|---|---|---|
| 5% | CGST 2.5% + SGST 2.5% | IGST 5% |

The number of digits depends on your aggregate turnover in the previous financial year.
| Turnover last year | Digits | Write |
|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs 5 crore | 4 on B2B invoices, optional on B2C | 1001 |
| Above Rs 5 crore | 6 on every invoice | 100111, 100119, 100191 |
| Export or import | 8 on the shipping bill or bill of entry | From the Customs Tariff, chapter 10 |
Here is how a line for wheat looks on a tax invoice within one state: 40 × pack of 5 kg at Rs 175.00 each, taxed at 5%. The figures are an example, not a market price.
| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 1001 | 40 × pack of 5 kg | 175.00 | 7,000.00 | 175.00 | 175.00 | 7,350.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 350.00 instead of CGST and SGST. Make the full invoice with the GST invoice format: it fills in the tax split, round off and amount in words.
Chapter 10 (Cereals) covers: Wheat, rice, maize, barley, millets and other cereal grains.
