Ladies suit HSN code 8 digit list: cotton, chikan and other fibres
Use 6211 42 19 for a plain cotton kurta-salwar set and 6211 42 11 if it is embroidered with Lucknow chikan craft. The GST portal’s HSN master (read 11 Oct 2026) still lists 6211 42 10, the older undivided "Kurta and salwar" line, right above those two splits. At 4 or 6 digits it makes no difference: all three roll up to 6211 and 621142. Other undivided lines, such as 6211 43 00 and 6204 12 00, also sit next to their splits.
6204 works the same way: most cotton and synthetic 00 lines have a chikan line and an "other" line next to them. You only need the rows below if you sell suits or co-ords. Dresses and trousers of 6204 have their own pages.

Cotton suit HSN code at 6 and 8 digits
At 6 digits a cotton kurta-salwar set is 621142 and a man-made fibre set 621143. 6211 42 90 is "other" cotton garments of 6211, so it is not the suit line. A woven cotton blazer-style suit is 6204 12 90.
Ladies suit HSN code 6204 or 6211: why most sites give the wrong code
A cotton salwar suit set belongs at 6211 42 19 (6211 42 11 if chikan), not 6204: the tariff names "Kurta and Salwar with or without Dupatta" in that sub-heading, and it is the only place the word kurta appears in chapters 61 and 62. Yet all nine organic results on Google’s first page for "ladies suit hsn code" (4 Oct 2026) print 6104 or 6204.
Those two headings read "women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts", woven (6204) or knitted (6104). Chapter 62 Note 3(a) defines a "suit" as a suit coat or jacket of four or more panels plus a matching lower garment in identical fabric, which describes a blazer and trousers. An "ensemble" under Note 3(b) is a matching top and bottom put up for retail sale, the usual co-ord set.
One result, dated 4 June 2025, still prints "5% or 12%". That is the old rule, when the band ended at ₹1,000 a piece; since 22 Sept 2025 it is 5% up to ₹2,500 and 18% above (PIB).
Which ladies suit HSN code to enter on Meesho or Flipkart
In the Meesho Supplier Panel or Flipkart Seller Hub, enter 6211 for a stitched salwar suit set and 5% or 18% by sale value.
- Pick the row in the first table that matches the product as sold.
- Enter 4 digits (6211) if last year’s aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore, 6 digits (621142) 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, 18% above. CBIC reads "sale value" as the transaction value, not the MRP (CBIC FAQ Q33).
- Repeat the code and rate on the invoice and in GSTR-1 Table 12 (GSTN advisory).
Worked example: a Surat supplier lists a printed cotton kurta-salwar-dupatta set on Meesho at ₹799. The HSN field takes 6211 (621142 above ₹5 crore turnover) and GST takes 5%, as ₹799 is under ₹2,500. On the invoice, print the full line, 6211 42 19, because the set has no chikan work.
We found no CBIC, GST Council or PIB note on how a three-piece set is measured against the ₹2,500 band; if a set sells near that price, ask your CA.

Worked example: a chikan georgette suit above ₹2,500
A Lucknow seller lists a polyester georgette kurta-salwar-dupatta set with chikan embroidery at an illustrative ₹2,899. Polyester is a man-made fibre, so the set leaves the cotton lines for 6211 43 10, man-made fibres embroidered with Lucknow chikan craft; at six digits that is 621143. GST is 18%, because the sale value is above ₹2,500.
In the Supplier Panel, this set gets 6211 in the HSN field, or 621143 for a seller whose turnover passed ₹5 crore, and 18% in the GST field. Print the full 6211 43 10 line on the bill so the catalog, the invoice and GSTR-1 Table 12 agree.
Unstitched suit, night suit and other suit HSN codes
An unstitched suit is not yet a garment, so it takes a fabric heading by fibre, not 6211. Chapters 61 and 62 apply only to made-up articles (Note 1 of each); woven cotton runs 5208–5212 and filament fabrics 5407–5408. See the fabric HSN code page.
A night suit or pyjama set is nightwear: 6108 for women’s knitted, 6208 if woven (cotton 6108 31 00 knitted; woven cotton 6208 21 90, or 6208 21 10 if handloom). A men’s coat-pant suit is 6203, cotton 6203 19 10; trousers sold alone are on the pant HSN code page.
A "baba suit" for a baby fits babies’ garments, 6111 if knitted and 6209 if woven, but only where it is made for a child of body height up to 86 cm. Boiler suits are not covered here; search them on the GST portal.
