GST Invoice Generator for Indian Businesses
A GST-compliant Indian invoice is highly prescribed: it needs a consecutive serial number, your GSTIN, the HSN or SAC code, place of supply, and a separate CGST/SGST or IGST split depending on whether the supply is intra-state or inter-state.
What a India invoice must show
- Consecutive serial number, unique for a financial year
- Supplier name, address and GSTIN
- Recipient name, address and GSTIN (for B2B)
- HSN code (goods) or SAC code (services)
- Place of supply
- Taxable value, rate and amount of CGST/SGST or IGST
- Total invoice value in figures and words
India invoicing notes
- Intra-state supply requires CGST + SGST; inter-state requires IGST.
- E-invoicing is mandatory above the turnover threshold — check the current limit.
- Composition-scheme dealers must not charge GST or issue a tax invoice.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to show GST separately on a India invoice?
Yes. The GST amount must be shown separately from the net amount, along with the rate applied and your registration number if you are registered.
What currency should a India invoice use?
Invoices are normally issued in INR (₹). Cross-border invoices may use another currency, but state it explicitly and show the exchange basis if tax is involved.
Is this India invoice format legally compliant?
The generator includes the fields most tax authorities require — sequential numbering, registration numbers, rate and amount shown separately. It is a template, not tax advice; confirm specifics with your accountant.
