GST Invoice Checklist for Indian Shops

Before creating a GST bill

1. Confirm whether this transaction requires a tax invoice, bill of supply or another document. This depends on registration and transaction type.
2. Check the legal business name, applicable GSTIN and place-of-supply information you need to record.
3. Verify each item description, quantity, taxable value, applicable GST rate and any product classification used in your business.
4. Confirm whether the supply is intra-state or inter-state before applying CGST/SGST or IGST.
5. Inspect the printed preview and verify the totals before handing the invoice to a customer.
6. Export invoices and GST reports; reconcile them with your books and official filings.

Worked example: two GST rates

Illustrative final total: ₹328. For an eligible intra-state supply, the illustrative ₹28 tax would comprise CGST ₹14 + SGST ₹14. For an eligible inter-state supply, IGST would be ₹28. These examples do not determine what rate applies to a real product.
