Guide

How to create invoices customers and you can both read.

An invoice is a record of the sale: seller, buyer (when needed), items, amounts, tax if you charge it, and what was paid. A calculator can split GST; it cannot invent a legal invoice for you.

Minimum useful fields

Date, invoice or bill number, item names, quantities, rates, total, amount received, amount due. Add GSTIN and tax breakup only when they apply to that sale.

Part-payment on the same bill

Show amount received and balance due. The next receipt should reference this bill. Do not issue a second invoice for the collection.

GST is rules plus your facts

Use the free GST calculator to see CGST/SGST or IGST on a number you already know. Applicable rate, place of supply and whether you must issue a tax invoice are legal questions this guide does not decide.

Common Questions

Questions people actually ask

How do I create an invoice for a small business in India?
List date, bill number, items, quantities, rates, total, amount paid and amount due. Add GST details only when they apply. Confirm legal invoice requirements for your registration with a qualified advisor.
Is Udhyami the same as Udyam MSME registration?
No. Udhyami (with an h) is a ManTech Studio business-management product for everyday sales, purchases, stock and money records. It is not the Government of India Udyam registration portal and does not issue Udyam certificates.
Can I start using Udhyami today without talking to the team?
Udhyami is in a closed beta. Request access from the contact page. The team confirms which workflows are available for your business before onboarding. Requesting access is not a paid subscription.
