| Check | What’s needed |
|---|---|
| Your registration | GSTIN and registered address |
| Customer | GST status; a GSTIN when registered |
| Place of supply | Chosen (from the customer’s GSTIN, billing state or your registration — shown to check) |
| Composition scheme | Bills of supply only |
| HSN/SAC | 4 digits for registered customers up to ₹5 crore turnover, 6 above it on every invoice, 8 for exports of goods |
| Tax fits the supply | CGST + SGST within a state; IGST between states and for SEZ; none under LUT or on a bill of supply |
| GST units | Advice for goods |
| LUT | This financial year’s, for exports and SEZ without IGST |
| Number | GST-valid |
Only what GST requires stops an invoice. Each check has a Fix in the editor — choose the place, use the fitting tax, add the HSN/SAC, use the unit code, make it a bill of supply, or go to Settings → GST for the GSTIN, LUT and series.
