What's on a bill format
These are the fields a bill format is expected to show — the same ones filled in on the sample above. For a plain-English definition of any receipt field, see the Receipt Field Dictionary.
- Supplier name, address and GSTIN
- Your business name and address as registered, and your GSTIN, printed at the top.
- Bill number and date
- A number from one running series for the financial year, and the date of the bill, written day-first.
- Customer details
- The buyer's name and address, and their GSTIN when they are a registered business that will claim the tax.
- Place of supply
- The state the supply is made to, with its state code, for example Karnataka (29).
- HSN or SAC code
- HSN codes classify goods and SAC codes classify services. Print the code next to each item.
- Quantity, rate and taxable value
- Each item's quantity and rate, and the value before tax, which is what the GST is charged on.
- CGST and SGST, or IGST
- The tax lines with their rates and amounts. On this sample, 18% is shown as CGST 9% plus SGST 9%.
- Total and signature
- The amount payable in figures, ideally also in words, and the signature of the supplier or an authorised signatory.
How to make a bill format
- Enter your business name, address and GSTIN.
- Set the bill number and date, then enter the customer, their GSTIN if they have one, and the place of supply under Bill to.
- Add each item with its HSN or SAC code in the name, the quantity and the rate before tax.
- Set the GST rate and name the tax line with the split you charge, such as CGST 9% + SGST 9%. The tax and total calculate themselves.

Bill Formats: what to get right
Worked example: how the GST is added up
A computer shop in Bengaluru bills a local business customer at 18% GST:
• Laptop servicing (SAC 998713): 1 × ₹1,500.00 = ₹1,500.00
• SSD 512 GB (HSN 8523): 1 × ₹3,800.00 = ₹3,800.00
• USB keyboard (HSN 8471): 2 × ₹650.00 = ₹1,300.00
Taxable value: ₹6,600.00
• CGST 9%: ₹594.00
• SGST 9%: ₹594.00
Total: ₹6,600.00 + ₹594.00 + ₹594.00 = ₹7,788.00. The template prints the GST as one line labelled with the split, at the combined 18%, so the total matches. The codes and rate here are a sample: GST rates are revised from time to time, so check the current rate and code for each item you bill.
What a GST tax invoice has to show
According to CBIC's guide to tax invoices (opens in a new tab), which restates rule 46 of the CGST Rules, a tax invoice carries the supplier's name, address and GSTIN; a serial number of up to sixteen characters (letters, numbers, hyphens and slashes) that is unique for the financial year; the date; the recipient's name, address and GSTIN if they are registered; the HSN code of goods or the accounting code of services; a description, the quantity and the total and taxable value; the rate and amount of each tax (central tax, State tax, integrated tax or cess); the place of supply with the State name for an inter-State supply; whether tax is payable on reverse charge; and the signature of the supplier or an authorised representative.
The same guide says a business on the composition scheme, or one that supplies only exempt goods or services, issues a bill of supply instead of a tax invoice. For goods, the invoice is made in triplicate, marked Original for Recipient, Duplicate for Transporter and Triplicate for Supplier; for services, in duplicate.
This is a summary of the format, not tax advice. GST rules and rates are amended from time to time, so check the current rules for your business.
Which India template to use
Use this bill for goods and services you sell with GST. A rent receipt for HRA has its own format, with the landlord's PAN and a revenue stamp, in the India rent receipt template. A petrol pump bill, with the nozzle, rate per litre and vehicle number, has its own fuel bill template.

What is the difference between HSN and SAC?
HSN codes classify goods and SAC codes classify services. A bill that sells both, like a repair with parts, prints the right code against each line.
Can I change the GST rate?
Yes. Set the rate that applies to what you sell and rename the tax line to match, for example CGST 2.5% + SGST 2.5% at 5%, or IGST 18%.
