GST without the spreadsheets
A short tour of how instock keeps invoices compliant automatically — from tax-type detection to GSTR-1 export.
If you distribute goods in India, every invoice you raise has to be GST-compliant. Not roughly compliant — legally valid, or it doesn’t count.
Here’s what instock handles so your team doesn’t have to think about it.
Tax type is detected, not entered
CGST + SGST for a sale inside the state; IGST when the buyer is in another state. instock reads the place of supply from the customer and the selling entity and applies the right split automatically, at the line-item level.
Numbering that survives an audit
Invoice numbers are sequential per tenant, per financial year, in the format
PREFIX/2025-26/00147. The sequence never skips and never reuses a number.
When you move to instock, you keep your existing series.
HSN, QR, e-way bill
Every product carries its HSN/SAC code and GST rate. Invoices above ₹500 get a QR code. When goods move and the consignment crosses ₹50,000, the e-way bill number is captured on dispatch.
Filing is an export
GSTR-1 — the monthly outward-supply return — comes out of instock as a structured export split into B2B, B2C and HSN summary sections. What used to be three days of spreadsheet work is a download.
Compliance shouldn’t be a monthly scramble. It should be a side effect of doing business correctly the first time.
