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.
GST on every line below: 5% up to ₹2,500 sale value a piece, 18% above (Notification 9/2025, from 22 Sept 2025). The 8-digit line does not change the rate; the price does.
| HSN (8 digit) | Description |

| 6206 30 10 | Women’s blouses, shirts and tops of cotton, woven: handloom |

8-digit lines: GST portal HSN master (search), read 11 Oct 2026. More dress lines: dress HSN code; more set lines: suit HSN code.
The master still lists the older single lines 6206 30 00 and 6211 42 10, which many sites print; the split lines above are the more exact ones. 6211 43 90 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 picks a neighbouring heading: you will see 6206, 6204, 6211 and 6109 quoted for the same kurti.
In DGCIS chapters 61 and 62 "kurti" appears nowhere and "kurta" only once, in the cotton kurta-and-salwar line that the GST portal master now splits into 6211 42 11 (Lucknow chikan) and 6211 42 19 (other); a men’s top is covered on the men’s kurta HSN code page. 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).
Example (illustrative, not a real seller): 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", 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. In between, let your CA decide; 6204 42 20 is now the handloom line, not cotton dresses in general.
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).
