What an Indian invoice has to say on its face
Required on the document
- Your GSTIN and the recipient’s GSTIN on a B2B supply.
- A consecutive serial number, unique for the financial year and no more than 16 characters.
- The HSN or SAC code for what you supplied.
- CGST and SGST shown separately for a supply within your state, or IGST for one across state lines.
- The place of supply, where it is inter-state.
The one people get wrong
The 16-character limit on the invoice number is the one that quietly breaks software. Split CGST and SGST is the one that breaks invoices: a single combined “GST 18%” line is not what the rules ask for on an intra-state supply, and your customer’s accountant will send it back.
The rate
GST is levied at 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% depending on what is supplied. Most services sit at 18%, split as 9% CGST and 9% SGST within a state.
That is the standard rate as a matter of public record. Whether it is the rate for your work, and whether you are registered at all, are questions about your business — this page does not know, the app does not look it up, and neither will guess.
