Use this page when you need to prepare, check, and download an invoice for an Indian customer or supplier record. The goal is a document that shows who sold, who bought, what was supplied, the taxable value, the GST treatment, and the payment terms. A registered supplier issuing a GST tax invoice must show the supplier name, address, and GSTIN.
The downloaded file should work for client delivery, internal review, and accounting handoff. Treat it as the final customer-facing copy only after you verify tax category, recipient details, line items, invoice number, and e-invoicing status. India invoices carry more tax data than a basic commercial receipt, so missing one field can create a reconciliation problem later.
A GST tax invoice needs a consecutive serial number that is unique for the financial year. The number can use letters, numbers, hyphen, dash, or slash, and it must stay within 16 characters. Add the date of issue, supplier details, recipient details, item descriptions, HSN codes for goods or SAC accounting codes for services, quantity for goods, total value, taxable value, and any discount or abatement.
GST sits on the invoice as the indirect tax label. Intra-state supplies generally split tax into CGST plus SGST or UTGST, while inter-state supplies use IGST. The invoice must show the GST rate and amount by tax type, including cess where applicable. For inter-state supplies, include the place of supply with the state name, and add the delivery address when it differs from the place of supply.
A downloaded India invoice is only useful when the tax logic matches the transaction. For a registered recipient, include the recipient name, address, and GSTIN or UIN. For an unregistered recipient, add name, address, delivery address, state, and state code when taxable supply value is at least Rs. 50,000. Missing recipient classification creates avoidable back-and-forth with accounting teams.
E-invoicing creates another download risk. GST e-invoicing applies to notified B2B taxpayers whose aggregate turnover exceeded Rs. 5 crore in any financial year from 2017-18 onward. Covered invoices are reported to the Invoice Registration Portal for an IRN and signed QR code. A normal PDF does not replace that process for covered invoices.
A one-off downloadable invoice is enough for a simple sale, a corrected draft, or a small batch of documents that someone reviews manually. Save the final PDF with the invoice number, issue date, customer name, and GST status in the file name. Keep the source data nearby so accounting can trace the invoice back to the work, order, or service period.
A managed workflow becomes better when time, expenses, project rates, approvals, and invoice status need to stay connected. Everhour Reporting gives teams customizable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, exports, and scheduled email delivery, so billable work can be reviewed before invoice creation. Keep the GST decision separate from the time report, then use the report to support the amount being billed.

Check the supplier GSTIN, recipient GSTIN or UIN when registered, invoice number, issue date, HSN or SAC code, taxable value, GST rate, tax amount by type, reverse-charge status where relevant, and place of supply for inter-state supplies. For goods, also check quantity and delivery details when the delivery address differs from the place of supply.
India uses GST on supplies of goods and services. Intra-state supplies generally use CGST plus SGST or UTGST, while inter-state supplies use IGST. The invoice must show the GST rate and amount charged, separated by central tax, state tax, integrated tax, Union territory tax, or cess as applicable.
A normal PDF works as a delivery format for many invoices, but covered B2B e-invoices need more than a downloaded file. GST e-invoicing applies to notified B2B taxpayers whose aggregate turnover exceeded Rs. 5 crore in any financial year from 2017-18 onward. Covered invoices are reported to the Invoice Registration Portal for an IRN and signed QR code.
The invoice serial number must be consecutive and unique for the financial year. It can contain letters, numbers, hyphen, dash, or slash, and the full number must stay within 16 characters. Avoid reused numbers, vague draft labels, and customer-specific numbering that breaks the annual sequence.
A GST tax invoice for services is generally required within 30 days from the date of supply of service unless a special category applies. Payment terms need separate review. When the supplier is a micro or small enterprise covered by the MSMED Act, the agreed payment date cannot exceed 45 days from acceptance or deemed acceptance.
Everhour Reporting lets teams build reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Before creating an India invoice, a team can review billable time, costs, client, project, member, and invoice status data in one report.
Review billable work before the invoice is finalized. Everhour Reporting connects time, costs, clients, projects, exports, and scheduled delivery into one billing-ready view.
