Free Invoice Generator for India

Indian GST invoices are the most format-heavy on this list: GSTINs for both parties, HSN/SAC codes per line, and CGST+SGST split for intra-state sales (or IGST for inter-state). Get the structure right once, then reuse it forever.

What a India invoice must include

• Your name, address, and GSTIN
• A unique invoice number (16 characters max, sequential)
• Date of issue
• Your client's name, address, and GSTIN (if registered)
• HSN/SAC code for each line item
• Description, quantity, and taxable value per line
• CGST + SGST rates and amounts (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state)
• Total value including tax, plus the tax amount in words

Tax note: GST — CGST+SGST or IGST (slab rates). Tax rules change — confirm anything unusual with your accountant.

Tips for invoicing in India

• Put the SAC code on every service line — corporate clients' finance teams check it before releasing payment.
• For B2B invoices over ₹50,000, the client's GSTIN is effectively required so they can claim input tax credit.
• Issue invoices within 30 days of the service for most supplies; the GST portal cross-matches what you report.
• E-invoicing (IRN) is mandatory above certain turnover thresholds — check the current limit, as it has been lowered repeatedly.
