GST billing software is an application that turns a normal sale into a legally compliant tax document — a GST invoice carrying a GSTIN, an HSN or SAC code, the correct CGST/SGST or IGST split, and an invoice series — and then rolls those invoices into GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns. In India it must also handle e-invoicing (IRN) and e-way bills. Below are the five things that decide whether the software actually does the GST work — or just prints a rate on a bill.
Entity definition
The 15-digit GSTIN identifies a business and its registered state. Same-state sales attract CGST + SGST, half each; inter-state sales attract IGST at the full rate. The software should read the state and apply the right tax type automatically, on every invoice.
An HSN code (or SAC for services) sets the GST rate on each product. A wrong code applies the wrong rate, sometimes for months — at ₹50 per invoice under Section 125. A 10,000+ code database with name-search means you set it once and never type it again.
GSTR-1 reports outward supplies invoice-wise; GSTR-3B is the summary return with tax liability and Input Tax Credit; GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted ITC statement your purchases must reconcile against. Every invoice should feed all three with no re-entry.
Above ₹5 crore turnover, every B2B invoice needs an IRN from the Invoice Registration Portal. An invoice without a valid IRN is legally invalid and the buyer cannot claim ITC — the penalty is 100% of the tax (CBIC notifications).
Goods worth over ₹50,000 in transit need an e-way bill. Smaller traders may sit under the composition scheme; some transactions fall under the reverse charge mechanism (RCM). Good GST software handles all of this from the master data.

Key GST entities this software handles
6 GST failures Accountune fixes
These are not hypothetical. They happen in GST-registered shops across India every month — and each one quietly creates a penalty or an hour of lost time.
Owners copy a code from an old bill or guess. A wrong HSN applies the wrong GST rate — sometimes across hundreds of invoices over many months. The notice arrives long after the mistake was made.
₹50 per invoice penaltyA 10,000+ HSN/SAC database. Type the product name, pick the code once, and every future invoice carries the right code and rate automatically.
HSN penalty risk → near zeroIn-state sales need CGST + SGST; inter-state need IGST. Pick wrong on a B2B bill and the buyer's Input Tax Credit fails — and they call you to fix it.
Buyer's ITC breaksSelect a customer; the software reads their registered state from the GSTIN and applies the right tax type on every invoice — no manual selection.
Zero wrong tax-type billsOwners pull invoices into Excel by hand, then the CA still finds GSTR-2B reconciliation mismatches. Six to eight hours, every month, with errors.
6–8 hrs/month lostEvery invoice feeds the report as you bill. One button at month-end produces a filing-ready GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B — your CA reviews and files in about an hour.
6–8 hrs/month savedUnder GST 2.0 a single bill can carry 0%, 5%, 18% and 40% items together. Hand calculation takes ten minutes and still slips.
Wrong totals on mixed billsEach product keeps its own rate. The invoice calculates every line independently and shows a clean rate-wise summary totalled at the bottom.
Correct on every lineThe e-way bill lives on a different government portal where you retype the invoice. Miss one and goods worth over ₹50,000 are held in transit.
Goods held, double entryFor goods above ₹50,000 the e-way bill is built into billing. Confirm and submit; the number attaches to the invoice automatically — no second login.
No double entry, no held goodsWithout a valid IRN, a B2B invoice is legally invalid and the buyer cannot claim ITC. The penalty is 100% of the tax on each non-compliant invoice.
100% of tax penaltyOn Growth and Pro plans the IRN is generated from the IRP the moment you raise a B2B invoice — printed on it, no separate portal, no batch uploads.
Every B2B invoice IRN-validSetup to first invoice — under 45 minutes
No IT person, no consultant. Most owners complete setup and raise their first GST-compliant invoice within 45 minutes of signing up.
Add each product with name, selling price, GST rate (0%, 5%, 18% or 40%) and HSN code from the built-in 10,000+ code database. Already have an Excel list? Bulk import loads everything in one step. Set once — every future invoice carries the right code and rate.
Add regular customers with name, mobile and GSTIN. The software reads each customer's registered state, so the right tax type — CGST+SGST or IGST — is applied automatically at billing. Walk-ins can be billed without a profile.
Search the product or scan the barcode; price, HSN and GST rate auto-fill. Pick the customer and the tax type is detected. Multi-rate items calculate separately. Print or send the GST invoice on WhatsApp in one tap.
Every invoice feeds the returns in the background. At month-end, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B download in filing-ready format and your CA files in about an hour. Above ₹5 crore, e-invoicing (IRN) and e-way bills are generated in-app.

Is this right for your business?
Accountune was built around the Indian GST structure in 2017 — not adapted from international software. Every business type below has been tested with real owners.
Best fit · kirana, medical, hardware, garments, electronics
Anyone raising tax invoices every day. Auto GST on every bill, HSN auto-fill and one-click returns remove the daily compliance load.
Best fit · inter-state B2B
Needs IGST auto-detection, e-way bills above ₹50,000 and multi-GSTIN handling. The right tax type is applied from the customer's state every time.
Growth / Pro · mandatory e-invoicing
Above ₹5 crore turnover, every B2B invoice needs a valid IRN. The IRN is generated from the IRP automatically as you bill — no separate portal.
Best fit · cloud + mobile
Bill from a phone at a godown, a customer site or home — not tied to one PC. Data syncs in real time across every device.
Best fit · first-time switch
Coming from Tally, Excel or a paper bill book. Plain language, no jargon, free migration help, and both systems can run in parallel during the switch.
Best fit · CA remote access
CA remote read-only access on every plan lets your accountant pull GSTR reports directly — saving two to four hours of coordination a month.
Buyer's guide · 2026
Score every shortlisted tool against these seven checks before paying. Software that fails even two is likely to cause friction within the first month.
Manual tax selection is the most common B2B error. The software should read the customer's state from their GSTIN and pick the tax type itself.

Returns should be generated from billing data. Ask to see a filing-ready GSTR-1 produced from real invoices.

Accountune
