HCV genotype 3 followed by genotype 1 are the predominant genotypes in India. Genotype 5 has been reported only in case reports from India previously. We report the case of a 70 year old male who presented with Hepatocellular carcinoma in the background of chronic hepatitis C. The patient during the evaluation was found to have genotype 5. Considering the rarity of the entity, we report this case with phylogeny and other details.
