Billing for Chennai's shops and wholesalers
Chennai's retail is anchored by the textile and jewellery showrooms of T. Nagar, the wholesale lanes of Sowcarpet and George Town, and Ritchie Street for electronics. Festival and wedding seasons bring heavy footfall, and shops that have labelled their stock in advance bill much faster on those days.
FundRaksha Book runs in the browser, so a Chennai shop can use it on a laptop at the counter and check the day's numbers from a phone. It covers the trades Chennai is known for, such as textiles and silk sarees, gold jewellery, electronics and general wholesale, and any other shop that buys stock, sells it and gives credit.
GST basics for a business in Chennai
- State code 33. Chennai is in Tamil Nadu. The GSTIN of every business registered in Tamil Nadu starts with 33, the GST state code.
- Sales within Tamil Nadu: a regular GST-registered seller charges CGST and SGST, each at half of the GST rate.
- Sales to another state: the seller charges IGST and writes the place of supply on the invoice. A buyer's GSTIN that does not start with 33 tells you the buyer is registered in another state.
- Composition dealers do not charge GST on the bill and issue a bill of supply. See tax invoice vs bill of supply.
- What the invoice must show: see the mandatory fields under Rule 46 and how many HSN digits you need.
