Kurti HSN code list: 6 and 8 digit lines for tops, sets and dresses
A cotton kurti sold as a top is 6206 30 90 if woven and 6106 10 00 if knitted; a woven rayon or polyester top is 6206 40 00. At 6 digits these are 620630, 610610 and 620640. Chapter 61 is for knitted articles only, so ask your supplier how the fabric is made.

8-digit lines: GST portal HSN master (search), read 11 Oct 2026. GST: Notification 9/2025, from 22 Sep 2025.
The master still lists the 2017 single lines 6206 30 00 and 6211 42 10, which many sites print; the split lines above are the later, more exact ones. Volza’s 62114390 is a man-made fibre line, not a cotton kurti line.
Why kurti HSN codes disagree online, and which to use
Kurti HSN codes disagree because the tariff has no kurti line, so each site picked a neighbour. Google’s first page for "kurti hsn code" (4 Oct 2026) shows four: 6206, 6204, 6211 and 6109.
We read DGCIS chapters 61 and 62 line by line: "kurti" appears nowhere, and "kurta" only once, in 6211 42 10 (cotton kurta and salwar, with or without dupatta), a 2017 line the GST portal master now splits into 6211 42 11 for Lucknow chikan and 6211 42 19 for the rest. The two headings worded for a top are 6206 (woven) and 6106 (knitted): women’s or girls’ blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses.
6109 covers knitted T-shirts, singlets and vests, wording written for T-shirts rather than a kurti. Pages quoting a ₹1,000 limit with 12% above it show the rule from before 22 Sept 2025; the band is now ₹2,500 a piece (PIB, read 11 Oct 2026).
Which kurti HSN code to enter on Meesho
On Meesho, the HSN field takes the heading that matches your kurti, at 4 or 6 digits by turnover, and the GST field takes 5% or 18% by sale value per piece. The same pair goes on your invoice.
- Pick the heading whose wording matches the item (top, kurta-salwar set or dress); if unsure, confirm with your CA.
- Enter 4 digits (6206) if last year’s aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore, 6 digits (620630) above it (CBIC Notification 78/2020–Central Tax, from 1 April 2021).
- Choose the rate by sale value: 5% up to ₹2,500 a piece and 18% above. CBIC says "sale value" is the transaction value, not the MRP (CBIC FAQ Q33).
- Use the same code and rate on the invoice and in GSTR-1 Table 12 (GSTN advisory).
Worked case: one catalog holds a ₹449 printed cotton straight kurti, a ₹899 kurta-palazzo-dupatta set and a ₹2,899 embroidered Anarkali. The kurti is the easy one. If your CA agrees it is a woven top, it goes in as 6206 at 5% (620630 above ₹5 crore turnover). The Anarkali crosses ₹2,500, so it takes 18% whichever heading it lands in; for the set, go to the suit HSN code page.
Checked against our HSN finder
A search for kurti in the StitchMagic HSN code finder returns two rows, "Kurti, women’s top — woven" under 6206 and "— knitted" under 6106, each with the ₹2,500-a-piece band sourced to PIB.

Kurti sets, gowns and embroidered kurtis
A kurta sold with salwar, with or without dupatta, has its own tariff line if cotton: 6211 42 19, or 6211 42 11 for Lucknow chikan. A man-made fibre set falls in 6211 43 (6211 43 90 other). Palazzo or pant sets, and how a set is valued against ₹2,500, belong on the suit HSN code page; we found no CBIC or PIB note on sets.
Some sites put kurtis in 6204. That heading covers woven women’s dresses and "ensembles", meaning matching pieces in identical fabric put up for retail sale (chapter 62, Note 3(b)). So a gown-style kurti sold as a dress can point to 6204 42 90 if cotton, while a plain top cannot; when a piece sits between dress and top, let your CA make the call. Watch for 6204 42 20 too. Pages that print it for cotton dresses use the 2017 meaning, and in the GST portal master it is now the handloom line.
Only Lucknow chikan embroidery has its own cotton lines: 6211 42 11 for a chikan kurta-salwar set and 6204 42 30 for a chikan cotton dress. Other embroidery takes the plain line; a cotton top under 6206 30 has only handloom (6206 30 10) and other (6206 30 90).
