A GST-compliant invoice for hardware shops, building material dealers, and construction supply stores with correct HSN codes for all product categories.
Hardware stores in India deal with an extraordinarily wide range of products, each falling under different HSN codes and GST rate slabs. This template is engineered specifically for hardware retailers and building material suppliers, organizing products into logical categories that mirror how a typical hardware store operates. The most common product categories and their GST rates are: cement (HSN 2523, 28% GST), iron and steel bars and rods (HSN 7214, 18% GST), paints and varnishes (HSN 3208-3210, 28% GST for luxury paints, 18% for putty), PVC pipes and fittings (HSN 3917, 18% GST), electrical wires and cables (HSN 8544, 18% GST), sanitary ware (HSN 6910, 18% GST), tiles and ceramics (HSN 6907-6908, 18% GST), plywood and laminates (HSN 4412, 18% GST), nuts, bolts, and fasteners (HSN 7318, 18% GST), adhesives and sealants (HSN 3506, 18% GST), hand tools (HSN 8205, 18% GST), and locks and hardware fittings (HSN 8301-8302, 18% GST). The template includes a product category selector that automatically suggests the correct HSN code and GST rate, dramatically reducing billing errors. For stores that offer both retail and bulk pricing, the template supports dual rate columns. It also handles the common scenario of partial deliveries common in construction projects, where materials are supplied in multiple lots against a single order.
Hardware shop owners, building material dealers, construction supply stores, paint shops, electrical goods stores, plumbing supply retailers, tile and sanitary ware showrooms, timber merchants, and any retail or wholesale business selling hardware and construction materials in India.
Step 1: Enter your hardware store name, address, and GSTIN. Step 2: For each item, select the product category (cement, steel, paint, plumbing, electrical, etc.) to auto-fill the HSN code and GST rate. Step 3: Enter the brand/make, quantity with unit (bags, kg, metric tons, pieces, sqft), and rate. Step 4: For bulk orders, enter the delivery address if different from the billing address. Step 5: If partial delivery, reference the original purchase order number. Step 6: Generate the e-way bill reference for consignments above Rs 50,000. Step 7: Specify credit terms if applicable (hardware stores commonly offer 15-30 day credit to contractors).
Hardware products span GST rates from 5% to 28%. Cement and marble attract 28% GST. Most steel products, tiles, pipes, paints (other than luxury), and fittings attract 18% GST. Sand, gravel, and some raw stones attract 5% GST. An e-way bill is mandatory for transporting goods worth more than Rs 50,000. For inter-state sales, IGST applies. Hardware stores with turnover above Rs 5 crore must use e-invoicing. Maintain stock registers for items covered under section 35(6).
