Questions, answered plainly.

PlusGST is GST invoicing and light bookkeeping software for Indian businesses. You create tax invoices, quotations and credit notes, record purchases and expenses, keep track of what clients owe you, and export your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B files.

GST-registered small businesses in India where the owner or a small team raises the invoices themselves: traders, manufacturers, agencies, consultants and other service firms. You do not need to be an accountant to use it.

Yes. It compares the GST state codes of your business and your customer. In the same state the tax is split into CGST and SGST; across states it is charged as IGST. An invoice discount is applied before tax, and export invoices carry no GST.

Yes. Record full or part payments against an invoice, including TDS a client deducted. The dashboard shows what is due and what is overdue, and the reports give you receivables ageing, outstanding by client and a ledger for each client.

You can download GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for a period as a CSV to review and as the JSON the GST offline tool imports. PlusGST does not file returns and does not connect to the GST portal. You or your CA upload the files.

Not at the moment. PlusGST does not issue IRNs or e-way bills today. If your turnover requires e-invoicing, you will need to generate those separately for now.

Yes. Free is a plan, not a trial. It includes up to 5 invoices a month, 1 business, 1 invoice template, along with the GST reports. Pro is ₹299 a month or ₹2,999 a year, and Business is ₹999 a month or ₹9,999 a year.

On the Pro and Business plans, yes. Add each business with its own GSTIN and switch between them from the top bar. Each keeps its own clients, invoice numbering and reports, and one subscription covers every business you own.

It compares the GST state code of your business with your customer's, taken from the GSTIN or the state you chose. The same state gives CGST and SGST in equal halves; a different state gives IGST. You do not pick the tax type yourself.

Yes. An invoice-level discount is spread across the items in proportion to their value and taken off before GST is calculated, so tax is charged on the reduced amount.

That is your choice on each invoice. With "Applies 18% GST" ticked, shipping or courier charges are taxed at 18% and the tax joins the same IGST or CGST and SGST lines. Unticked, the charge is added without tax.

You set the prefix once, and PlusGST suggests the next number in that series within the financial year. You can change the number on an invoice, and a number already used in the same financial year is refused.

Yes. Mark the invoice as an export, choose the currency and record the exchange rate. Export invoices carry no GST, and the rupee value is kept for your reports.

Download it as a PDF, print it, or email it from PlusGST with the PDF attached.

It does the same job: a priced offer before the sale. A quotation is not a tax invoice and is not part of your GST returns. The invoice it becomes is.

Until the Valid Until date you set. After that an open quotation shows as Expired. If the customer accepts late, you can still convert it.

PlusGST creates an invoice with the same items, discount, charges and totals, numbered in your invoice series for the date you choose. The quotation is marked Converted and links to the invoice, and the invoice records the quotation it came from.

Converting copies the quotation exactly, so edit the quotation first, or edit the invoice after converting it.

Creating quotations does not. Converting one creates an invoice, and that invoice counts like any other.

Yes. A quotation prints in the same template as your invoices, headed Quotation, with its number, date and Valid Until date. Bank details are left off.

Yes. They print the same invoice: your business and GSTIN, the client, HSN or SAC codes, quantities, rates, the GST lines, the total and the amount in words. Only the layout changes.

Yes. Upload them once in your business settings and every template uses them.

Yes. The bank block prints only when bank details are set and switched on for the business.

Yes. Each template is one design for every document PlusGST prints: tax invoices, quotations, and credit and debit notes.

Free includes the Modern template. Professional and Premium open on the Pro and Business plans.

No. An issued invoice keeps the design and the business details it was issued with.

No. PlusGST records the payments you receive, each with its date and method, and keeps your receivables up to date. The money still reaches you the way it does today.

Yes. Each payment is added to the invoice's history, and the invoice shows as Partial until the balance reaches zero.

Record the TDS your client deducted along with the payment. It counts towards settling the invoice and is shown separately from cash received in the client's ledger.

When its due date has passed and a balance is still outstanding. Overdue is worked out each time you look, so it is never out of date.

They stay in what you have to collect. Money owed from earlier years is not hidden on 1 April.

Yes. Open the client's ledger for any period and export the statement, bill-wise or as a list of transactions.

No. PlusGST prepares the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B export files from your entries. You or your CA upload them to the GST portal. PlusGST does not sign in to the portal.

The CSV is a working sheet to read and reconcile, usually with your CA. The JSON is the format the GST offline tool imports. Both come from the same calculation, so they agree.

The period you pick on the reports page. Returns are filed by month, so choose a single month to get a file for that return period.

Yes. A credit or debit note adjusts the month it was raised in, and registered and unregistered recipients are reported separately in GSTR-1.

A purchase marked as reverse charge is carried into GSTR-3B on both sides: as tax you owe, and as input credit.

Yes. The files are built from what you entered, so review them, ideally with your CA, before they go to the portal.

No. Attaching the file is optional; you can record a purchase from the details alone. When you do attach one, PDF, JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB are accepted.

On the Pro and Business plans a bill can be read from a PDF or a photo to fill in the form, and you check the fields before saving. On Free, bills are typed in by hand.

A bill is linked automatically only when the GSTIN matches a vendor you already have, or the name is identical. Anything less certain is offered as a suggestion for you to confirm.

From the supplier's GSTIN or state: the same state as yours gives CGST and SGST, a different state gives IGST. PlusGST also checks that taxable value plus GST equals the bill total.

Mark the bill as reverse charge. It is flagged in your purchases and reported in GSTR-3B as tax you owe and as credit.

In Expenses, which sits beside Purchases. Rent, salaries and similar costs are recorded there, once or on a repeating schedule.

TallyPrime and Tally.ERP 9. PlusGST gives you an XML file of vouchers that you import in Tally. It is a one-way export, not a live sync.

Your sales invoices as Sales vouchers and your purchase bills as Purchase vouchers, for the financial year you have open in PlusGST. You can export both, or sales or purchases on their own.

Each voucher posts to ledgers that must already exist in your Tally company: one for each customer and supplier, named as in PlusGST, and Sales, Purchase, Output CGST, Output SGST, Output IGST, Input CGST, Input SGST, Input IGST and Round Off.

No. They carry foreign currency and no GST, so they are left out rather than posted at face value into rupee ledgers.

No. The vouchers carry amounts, not stock items, so your Tally inventory is not touched. Credit and debit notes and expenses are not part of the export.

It is on every plan, Free included. Anyone whose role lets them view both invoices and purchases can download the file, from Settings and then Integrations.

It is free and needs no account. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

For a sale within your state, GST is charged as CGST and SGST in equal halves, so 18% is 9% CGST and 9% SGST. For a sale to another state it is all IGST at the full rate. The total tax is the same either way.

Multiply the price by 100 and divide by 100 plus the rate. At 18%, ₹11,800 × 100 ÷ 118 gives ₹10,000 before GST, so the GST in it is ₹1,800.

That depends on the HSN code of the goods or the SAC code of the service. Since 22 September 2025 most goods and services are taxed at 5% or 18%, with 40% on a short list of goods. Confirm the rate for your items with your CA or on the GST portal.

Tax is rounded to the paisa, and CGST and SGST are each rounded. At some rates no price in whole paise adds up exactly to the amount you typed, so the calculator shows the nearest and says so.

Yes. The calculator uses the same code as the invoice builder, so its figures match an invoice made in PlusGST.

No. Free is a plan with limits: up to 5 invoices a month, 1 business, 1 invoice template. It does not expire.

Through Razorpay autopay. The first month or year is charged when you authorise it, and each following period renews by itself until you turn autopay off.

Yes, from your profile, at any time. Autopay stops, and the plan runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.

Yes. Moving to a higher plan on the same billing period charges only the difference for the time left. Moving to a lower plan, or between monthly and yearly, takes effect at the end of the current period.

No. One plan belongs to your account and covers every business you own. Team members you invite work under your plan.

Nothing you have created is blocked, changed or deleted. The account goes back to the Free plan's limits for new work.

No. It prepares the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B files from your client's entries. You upload them and complete the filing on the GST portal. PlusGST does not sign in to the portal.

To invite you into their business, yes: inviting teammates is part of the Business plan. On any plan, Free included, your client can download the GST files and registers and send them to you.

Yes. Your client can invite you as a viewer, who can read what they are given and change nothing, or give you custom access to the sections they choose.

Yes. Every business that invites you appears in the business switcher at the top of the app, and each keeps its own books, invoice numbering and reports.

Yes. A financial year's sales and purchases can be exported as Tally vouchers for TallyPrime or Tally.ERP 9. The export needs view access to invoices and purchases.

No file should be. Open it in the GST offline tool and reconcile it against the working sheet before you submit. The files are built from what was entered, so a missing bill or a wrong GSTIN will be in them too.
