What is a GST invoice?

A GST invoice, or tax invoice, is the bill a GST-registered business issues when it sells goods or services. It records the tax charged so the buyer can claim input tax credit and the seller can report the sale in GST returns.

GST invoice format

A tax invoice shows your name, address and GSTIN; a unique invoice number of up to 16 characters; the date; the customer's name, address and GSTIN if registered; the place of supply; each item's description, HSN or SAC code, quantity, rate and taxable value; the GST rate and amount; and your signature.

Charge CGST and SGST when the place of supply is in your own state and IGST when it's in another state. This generator works the split out from the states you choose.

Good to know

What is the difference between CGST, SGST and IGST?

CGST and SGST apply when you sell within your own state; IGST applies when you sell to another state. The total rate is the same.

Is a GST invoice valid without a signature?

A tax invoice needs the signature or digital signature of the supplier or their authorised representative. Sign the printed PDF, or use a digital signature.

Which GST rate should I use?

Use the rate for your item's HSN or SAC code. Most rates changed on 22 September 2025, when 12% and 28% were folded into 5%, 18% and 40%.

Can I make an invoice without a GSTIN?

No. Only GST-registered businesses can issue a tax invoice; if you're not registered, use a bill of supply or a payment receipt instead.

Do I need e-invoicing?

E-invoicing on the government portal applies only above a turnover threshold. Below it, a PDF invoice like this one is enough.

Is my invoice data stored anywhere?

No. The invoice is made in your browser and its details never leave your device.
