The files do not import rates from the site's HSN/SAC datasets and do not default to 18%. A blank rate is not nil-rated or exempt. Confirm classification, exemption conditions, reverse-charge treatment, effective dates, and the applicable notification before entering a percentage.

  • Recipient details and GSTIN
  • Invoice number and date

Before issuing an invoice

Rule 46 prescribes invoice particulars, but special cases, e-invoicing, exports, reverse charge, bills of supply, and sector-specific rules can require different treatment. These downloads are starting templates, not a universal compliance certificate.

Template questions

Do the templates include a default GST rate?

No. The GST rate is intentionally blank. Enter a rate only after verifying the applicable classification, notification, conditions, and effective date.

Are these templates valid for every GST invoice?

No single template covers every taxpayer, supply, export, reverse-charge, e-invoice, or sector-specific requirement. Review Rule 46 and any rules that apply to the transaction before issue.

Can the Excel template calculate tax?

Yes. It calculates tax only after you manually enter a GST rate and choose intra-State or inter-State supply. A blank rate keeps the tax fields blank.
