Use this page to prepare an invoice for Indian clients, vendors, or business records without starting from a blank document. The finished invoice should show who supplied the goods or services, who received them, the invoice number and issue date, the line items, the taxable value, the GST treatment, and the total amount due.
For GST-registered suppliers, the document becomes a tax invoice with specific fields. A registered supplier must show the supplier's name, address, and GSTIN. Service invoices are generally required within 30 days from the date of supply of service unless a special category applies, so the issue date is more than an administrative detail.
India uses Goods and Services Tax on supplies of goods and services. Intra-state supplies generally use CGST plus SGST or UTGST, while inter-state supplies use IGST. The invoice should show the GST rate and amount charged by tax type, including central tax, state tax, integrated tax, Union territory tax, or cess as applicable.
Line items need enough detail for tax and buyer review. GST invoice lines must identify the HSN code for goods or the accounting code for services, describe the goods or services, and show quantity for goods, total value, taxable value, and any discount or abatement. Inter-state supplies also need the place of supply with the state name.
The invoice serial number has its own GST rule. It must be consecutive, unique for the financial year, and limited to 16 characters, with letters, numbers, hyphen, dash, or slash allowed. Reusing an invoice number or changing the numbering pattern mid-year creates reconciliation problems for both supplier and recipient.
Recipient details change by buyer type. For a registered recipient, include name, address, and GSTIN or UIN. For an unregistered recipient, include name, address, delivery address, state, and state code when the taxable supply value is at least Rs. 50,000. Larger notified B2B taxpayers also need GST e-invoicing through the Invoice Registration Portal for an IRN and signed QR code.
A one-off invoice maker works well when you need a clean document for a single job, a simple client request, or a corrected invoice draft. It is enough when the rates, tax treatment, and payment terms are already known and the work does not need to connect back to project records.
A managed billing workflow matters when several people bill at different rates, projects use different pricing, or older work must keep the rate that applied on the work date. Everhour separates cost and billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, preserves dated rate history, and can price billable work by project, member, or task.

A GST tax invoice should show the taxable value, GST rate, and tax amount by applicable tax type. Line items should include HSN for goods or SAC for services, a description, value, taxable value, and discounts or abatements where relevant. CGST plus SGST or UTGST generally applies to intra-state supplies, while IGST applies to inter-state supplies.
For a registered recipient, the invoice must include the recipient's name, address, and GSTIN or UIN. For an unregistered recipient, the invoice needs name, address, delivery address, state, and state code when the taxable supply value is at least Rs. 50,000. Missing buyer identifiers can delay input tax credit review and payment approval.
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, which returns an IRN and signed QR code. Businesses outside that threshold still need regular GST invoice fields when registered and making taxable supplies.
The invoice serial number must be consecutive and unique for the financial year. It can contain letters, numbers, hyphen, dash, or slash, but it must stay within 16 characters. A practical format such as FY26-001 works because it stays short, sorts cleanly, and avoids duplicate numbers across the same financial year.
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. Longer contractual wording does not remove that statutory outer limit. Put the due date clearly on the invoice so the buyer can process payment against the correct timeline.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, so project reports can show labor cost, revenue, and profit before invoicing. Teams can use default per-person rates, per-project overrides, dated rate changes, and project, member, or custom task rates for work that needs different pricing.
Everhour can generate invoices from uninvoiced billable time and expenses, then calculate amounts from rates, time, and billable expenses while excluding non-billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown to match the structure the client expects.
Set rates once, keep dated changes intact, and turn approved billable work into invoices with Everhour rate controls that support cleaner client billing.
