GST billing software in Kochi

Billing for Kochi's shops and wholesalers

Kochi has traded spices for centuries, and Mattancherry still has pepper, cardamom and ginger dealers, while Broadway in Ernakulam is the city's wholesale and retail market and MG Road has its jewellery and textile showrooms. Spice dealers sell by weight from lots bought at different rates, so batch-wise stock and cost are useful here.

FundRaksha Book runs in the browser, so a Kochi shop can use it on a laptop at the counter and check the day's numbers from a phone. It covers the trades Kochi is known for, such as spices, gold jewellery, seafood and general wholesale, and any other shop that buys stock, sells it and gives credit.

GST basics for a business in Kochi

• State code 32. Kochi is in Kerala. The GSTIN of every business registered in Kerala starts with 32, the GST state code.
• Sales within Kerala: 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 32 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.
