Invoicing using custom software?

05 August 2018

Hi,

I want to know if i use my own invoicing software to generate tax invoices, is it valid under GST? Do i have to keep a copy of the invoice i have generated for cross verification requirements of the GST department?

Yes... Why not...?!

If the Invoice is containing some of the details as per GST rule then You can follow or prepare the Invoice in Your Software...
No more restriction for any Formats...

If Your Turn Over is Above 1.5crs then The Column is mandatory in Invoice...

If You prepare invoice systematically then HSN code is always is print out. No need to put manually in system generated invoice...

Yes if it is mandatory, you have to shown HSN code alongwith Item Descripttion. It your Software does not provide HSN code, you may type HSN code alongwith item name or below Item Name Descripttion.
If all items in Invoiuce have same HSN code you can write only once at top of first item descripttion or at bootam last line of Item descripttion and that should be clearly readble .
