GST Invoice Generator
Create a GST-compliant tax invoice, see CGST, SGST and IGST totals update instantly, then print or download a clean PDF for your records.
Create a GST-compliant tax invoice in your browser
This free GST invoice generator produces a tax invoice that follows Rule 46 of the CGST Rules — consecutive numbering, GSTINs for both parties, place of supply, HSN/SAC codes, and a separate CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess breakdown. Totals update as you type, and the finished invoice can be printed or saved as a PDF. If you only need to work out the tax on an amount rather than raise a document, use the GST calculator instead.
Fill in the invoice
Type directly onto the invoice — seller, customer, line items and notes are all edited in place. Nothing is uploaded; the whole document is built in your browser.
Tax is applied automatically
Set the seller's state and the place of supply and the invoice picks CGST + SGST or IGST for you, applying discounts, cess and the whole-rupee round-off as it goes.
Print or download
Preview the finished invoice in any of the three templates, then print it or save a multi-page A4 PDF with the editing controls stripped out.
What a GST invoice must contain
Rule 46 of the CGST Rules sets out the particulars every tax invoice has to carry. Each one has a place on the templates below.
Supplier and recipient identity
Name, address and GSTIN of the supplier, and of the recipient wherever they are registered. An unregistered recipient above ₹50,000 still needs name, address and delivery state.
Invoice number and date
A consecutive serial number unique to the financial year, at most 16 characters, using only letters, digits, hyphens and slashes — plus the date of issue.
Place of supply
The state that decides whether the transaction is intra-state (CGST + SGST) or inter-state (IGST). Mandatory on every inter-state invoice.
HSN or SAC code
Four digits for turnover up to ₹5 crore and six digits above it, reported per line item for goods (HSN) and services (SAC).
Taxable value and tax
Description, quantity, unit rate, any discount, the taxable value, and the rate and amount of CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess shown separately.
Signature and reverse charge
A physical or digital signature of the supplier or their authorised representative, and a statement of whether tax is payable on reverse charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What details must a GST invoice legally contain?
Under Rule 46 of the CGST Rules, a tax invoice must carry the supplier's name, address and GSTIN; a consecutive invoice number and date; the recipient's name, address and GSTIN (where registered); the place of supply; the HSN or SAC code; a description, quantity and taxable value for each item; the rate and amount of CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess; and whether tax is payable on reverse charge.
When does an invoice use CGST and SGST instead of IGST?
It depends on the place of supply. When the supplier's state and the place of supply are the same, the transaction is intra-state and GST is split equally into CGST and SGST/UTGST. When they differ, the transaction is inter-state and the full rate is charged as IGST. This generator switches between the two automatically once you set the seller's state and the place of supply.
Is an HSN or SAC code mandatory on an invoice?
It depends on turnover. Businesses with aggregate annual turnover up to ₹5 crore must report 4-digit HSN codes on B2B invoices, and those above ₹5 crore must report 6 digits. SAC codes follow the same structure for services. The HSN/SAC column is included on every template here.
Do I need to number invoices in a particular way?
Yes. Invoice numbers must be consecutive, unique within a financial year, and no longer than 16 characters, using only letters, digits, hyphens and slashes. A common pattern is a prefix plus a running sequence, such as INV-2026-001.
Is this GST invoice generator free, and is my data uploaded anywhere?
It is completely free, and nothing you type leaves your browser. The invoice is built, previewed and rendered to PDF entirely client-side — the seller, customer, line-item details and any logo you upload are never sent to a server.
Can I download the invoice as a PDF or print it?
Yes. The invoice can be printed directly or saved as a multi-page A4 PDF. Editing controls, upload prompts and site navigation are removed automatically from both outputs, so only the invoice itself appears.
Can I raise an invoice without charging GST?
Yes. Set the tax treatment to 'Not Registered — No GST' for a supplier outside the GST regime, or 'Overseas' for an export. Both drop the GST and cess columns and their summary rows, leaving a clean invoice with only the taxable value and total.
Which currencies are supported?
Invoices can be raised in INR, USD, EUR, GBP or AED. The whole-rupee round-off that Indian invoicing convention applies is used only for INR — foreign-currency invoices keep their exact decimal total.
