The HSN code 9971 must be mentioned on your GST invoice. Businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore must use 6-digit HSN codes; those above ₹1.5 crore up to ₹5 crore must use 4-digit codes.

As a GST-registered business, you can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases of Scientific and professional services used for taxable business activities. Ensure your supplier provides a valid GST invoice with their GSTIN mentioned.
