When do I use IGST instead of CGST/SGST?

How to create a GST invoice online (India)

Step-by-step: create a GST invoice with CGST/SGST or IGST online for free. No signup. Download PDF.

A GST tax invoice for India needs the right market mode, GSTIN where applicable, place-of-supply context, and a clear CGST/SGST or IGST split. This guide walks through creating one in BillLitz — free, on-device, no signup.

Before you start

Know whether you are GST-registered (have a GSTIN) or not
Know your supplier state and the client’s state
Decide line-item GST rates (common slabs include 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%)

Steps in BillLitz

Open BillLitz and set Where? to India.
Under My business, save name, address, GSTIN (if registered), and logo.
If you are not GST-registered, enable the GST-off option so tax rows stay off the PDF.
Enter the client name, address, GSTIN, and state so intra- vs inter-state tax can apply correctly.
Add line items (description, qty, price) and confirm tax rates.
Preview totals: taxable value, CGST/SGST or IGST, grand total.
Download PDF or Share — a successful issue also saves to History on this device.

Reading the tax breakdown

Intra-state invoices typically show equal CGST and SGST lines that together equal the GST rate. Inter-state invoices show IGST. If states are incomplete, BillLitz defaults carefully — fill both states for predictable IGST vs CGST/SGST behavior. More: CGST & SGST.

After you issue

Mark Paid/Unpaid in History when the client settles
Export a Backup so clearing browser data does not wipe invoices
Use Reports for period totals (optional FX to home currency)

Common mistakes to avoid

Sending a GST invoice without verifying GSTIN and place of supply
Assuming BillLitz files GSTR returns or generates IRNs — it does not
Skipping backups on a shared or auto-clearing browser profile

Not e-invoice IRN or GSTR filing. Verify GST treatment with a CA when unsure.
