| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Towel | 6302 | 100 × towel | 220.00 | 22,000.00 | 550.00 | 550.00 | 23,100.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 1,100.00 instead of CGST and SGST. Make the full invoice with the GST invoice format: it fills in the tax split, round off and amount in words.
