What is a bill book?

A bill book is a pad of numbered bills (cash memos) that a shop fills in by hand at the counter. A GST registered shop's bill book is printed as a tax invoice, with the shop's name, address and GSTIN, columns for HSN, quantity, rate and GST, and spaces for the totals and the customer's signature.

How to make a GST bill book page

  1. Enter your shop name, address, phone and GSTIN, and add your logo.
  2. Write your standard terms, such as "Goods once sold will not be taken back".
  3. Click Blank form to clear the items and get ruled empty lines, then print as many copies as you need. Number each bill as you use it.
  4. Or type the bill on screen: add the items with HSN, quantity, rate and GST %, and the taxable value, CGST and SGST or IGST, round off and amount in words are calculated.

Download the result as a PDF or an editable Word file, or print it. Your draft stays in this browser only, so you can come back to it; nothing is uploaded to our servers.

What a handwritten GST bill must show

A handwritten bill is accepted as a tax invoice when it has the particulars required by the GST rules:

  • the shop's name, address and GSTIN
  • a consecutive bill number, unique for the financial year, and the date
  • the customer's name and address, and GSTIN if registered (for sales to unregistered customers of Rs 50,000 or more, the name, address and state are also needed)
  • HSN code, description, quantity and rate of each item
  • taxable value, GST rate and the CGST and SGST or IGST amounts
  • the total, and the signature of the shop owner or an authorised person

Bill book or GST invoice?

Both are tax invoices. The bill book suits counter sales written by hand; the GST invoice format suits typed B2B invoices with a ship to address, due date and bank details. Shops under the composition scheme cannot charge GST and issue a bill of supply instead, without tax columns. For a price offer before the sale, use the quotation format.

Frequently asked questions

What is a bill book format?

A printed bill page with the shop's details and GSTIN at the top, columns for the items, HSN, quantity, rate, GST and amount, and spaces for the totals, amount in words and signature.

Is a handwritten GST bill valid?

Yes, if it carries all the particulars the GST rules require and the business is not required to issue e-invoices.

How do I print a blank bill?

Fill in your shop details, click 'Blank form' above the form, and print. You get a bill with ruled empty lines ready to fill in by hand.

Do bill numbers have to be in order?

Yes. GST invoices need a consecutive serial number that is unique for the financial year, so use the bills in order and keep the office copies.

Can a composition dealer use this bill book?

A composition taxpayer cannot collect GST and must issue a bill of supply. Leave the GST % empty so no tax lines print, and write 'Bill of supply' in the terms.
