GST invoice format for India

A GST-compliant invoice must show your GSTIN, the customer's GSTIN (if registered), HSN/SAC codes, place of supply and a clean tax breakdown into CGST + SGST (intra-state) or IGST (inter-state). This template does all of that for you.

FAQ

When do I charge CGST + SGST vs IGST?

If your business state and the place of supply are the same, split into CGST + SGST at half the rate each. If they differ, charge the full rate as IGST.

Is HSN/SAC code mandatory?

Yes — 4 digits for turnover below ₹5 Cr and 6 digits above ₹5 Cr, for every line item. Ascend has a searchable HSN picker built in.

Do I need to file this invoice separately?

It flows into your GSTR-1 return. Ascend can export a GSTR-1 ready CSV from Reports (coming to all plans).
