GST Billing Software for Indian Retail Shops

GST billing software creates invoices that meet GST rules: your GSTIN, HSN or SAC codes, tax rate and the correct CGST, SGST or IGST split. It also keeps sales and purchase data so you can produce reports for filing. RichPOS does this in your browser for ₹199 a month or ₹2,000 a year, with a free 30-day trial and no card required.

A GST tax invoice must show the seller's name, address and GSTIN, a unique invoice number and date, HSN or SAC codes, description, quantity, taxable value, tax rate and tax amount split into CGST and SGST or IGST. For B2B sales it must also show the buyer's GSTIN. Your CA can confirm any extra fields for your business.

Charge CGST and SGST when the seller and the place of supply are in the same state. For example, 18% GST becomes 9% CGST and 9% SGST. Charge IGST at the full rate when the place of supply is in a different state. Most walk-in retail sales are within the state.

No. RichPOS creates GST tax invoices and reports but does not generate IRNs, e-invoices or e-way bills. E-invoicing applies only to businesses above a turnover threshold, so check the current threshold with your CA. Most small retail shops are below it. If your business crosses the threshold, you will need a separate way to generate IRNs, and your CA can advise on the right setup.

No. RichPOS does not file returns on the GST portal. It gives you HSN-wise sales, purchase and tax reports that you can export to Excel, CSV or PDF. Your CA or tax filer uses these reports to prepare and file your returns. Because the reports are grouped by HSN and tax rate, they do not have to rebuild the figures from individual bills.

Yes. Composition dealers cannot charge GST to customers and issue a bill of supply instead of a tax invoice. You can set up items without tax and use custom text on the bill to mark it as a bill of supply. Ask your CA to confirm the exact wording you need.

HSN codes come from the GST tariff and are usually printed on your supplier's invoice. Copy the code from there, or search the GST rate finder on the official GST portal. Businesses with smaller turnover generally use 4-digit codes, and larger ones use 6 digits. Save the code on each item once and RichPOS uses it on every bill.

RichPOS is not free, but it has a 30-day free trial with no card required. The trial allows up to 200 items and customers, 500 invoices, one warehouse and one user. After that, it costs ₹199 a month or ₹2,000 a year, which includes billing, stock, purchase, GST reports and 1,000 AI credits. Run a full month of real bills during the trial and check the reports with your CA before you pay.
