The number of digits depends on your aggregate turnover in the previous financial year.
| Turnover last year | Digits | Write |
|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs 5 crore | 4 on B2B invoices, optional on B2C | 3004 |

Here is how a line for ayurvedic medicine looks on a tax invoice within one state: 100 × bottle at Rs 180.00 each, taxed at 5%. The figures are an example, not a market price.
| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ayurvedic Medicine | 3004 | 100 × bottle | 180.00 | 18,000.00 | 450.00 | 450.00 | 18,900.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 900.00 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.
Chapter 30 (Pharmaceutical products) covers: Medicines, vaccines, blood products, dressings and other pharmaceutical goods.
