The GST-ready billing checklist for retail counters
A practical checklist to keep your counter billing GST-clean — tax rates, HSN, place of supply, IMEI and reconciliation — without slowing the queue.
GST mistakes at the counter are cheap to prevent and expensive to fix. This checklist covers what a busy electronics or mobile shop needs to get right on every bill — and how to keep it fast.
On every invoice
- Correct GST rate per item (not one blanket rate for the whole bill).
- HSN code on each line where required.
- Buyer GSTIN captured for B2B sales.
- Place of supply set correctly for CGST/SGST vs IGST.
- IMEI / serial recorded for phones and serialized goods.
- Rounding and discount applied before tax, transparently.
Keep the queue fast
Compliance shouldn’t cost you the sale. Scan the IMEI, let tax rates apply automatically from the catalog, and deliver the invoice on WhatsApp so there’s no printer bottleneck at the counter.
Reconcile, don’t re-enter
Whatever you bill at the counter should flow back to your books once — automatically. Nightly reconciliation to Tally means your GST returns are built on the same numbers your salespeople rang up, with no double entry.
Before filing
Match counter sales to Tally vouchers, check for missing GSTINs on B2B bills, and confirm IGST vs CGST/SGST on any out-of-state supply. A weekly 10-minute reconciliation beats a month-end scramble.
