Is HSN code mandatory on every invoice?

It depends on your turnover and whether the sale is to a business. Please check the current rule for your turnover with your accountant.

When do I charge IGST instead of CGST and SGST?

IGST applies when goods or services move between two states. Within the same state you charge CGST and SGST.
