A practical checklist of GST billing software features — invoice fields, HSN master, place of supply, e-invoice and e-way bill, credit notes, GSTR-1 data, payments and reports.
Good GST billing software produces legally complete invoices, applies the right tax (CGST+SGST or IGST) based on place of supply, stores HSN/SAC in an item master, handles credit notes and gives GSTR-1-ready data. Billing alone is not accounting — check whether purchases, expenses and bank entries are also covered.
| # | Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Item master with HSN/SAC and rate | Consistent codes across invoices and GSTR-1 |
| 2 | Customer master with GSTIN validation | Fewer B2B errors |
| 3 | Automatic intra/inter-state tax split | Prevents wrong-head payments |
| 4 | Invoice series per GSTIN/branch | Number uniqueness |
| 5 | Credit and debit notes | Returns and price changes |
| 6 | E-invoice (IRN/QR) support if applicable | Mandatory above the notified threshold |
| 7 | E-way bill data | Goods movement compliance |
| 8 | Receipts and payment matching | Know who still owes you |
| 9 | Receivables ageing | Collections follow-up |
| 10 | Purchase and expense entry | Input tax credit |
| 11 | GSTR-1 / 3B summaries | Faster filing |
| 12 | Excel/CSV export | No lock-in; CA review |
| 13 | User permissions | Staff cannot alter past invoices freely |
| 14 | Mobile access | Invoice on the go |
| 15 | Backup and data retention terms | Records must be kept for years |
Records under GST must generally be kept for 72 months from the due date of the annual return. Confirm how long the software retains your data and how you can export it.
