A multi-rate GST bill for kirana stores and grocery shops where different products attract different GST rates in the same bill.
Kirana stores and grocery shops face a unique billing challenge under GST: a single customer bill may contain items at four different tax rates. Essential food items like rice, wheat, milk, and fresh vegetables are GST-exempt (0%). Basic processed foods like sugar, tea, coffee, and edible oils attract 5%. Processed foods and branded items attract 12%, while premium and luxury food products attract 18% or even 28%. This template handles multi-rate billing elegantly, automatically grouping items by their GST rate and calculating the tax for each group separately. The template is designed for the fast-paced kirana billing environment with a simple interface: enter the product name, select or auto-detect the GST rate from a pre-populated list of common grocery items, enter the MRP and selling price (which cannot exceed MRP), and the quantity. For loose items sold by weight (dal, rice, sugar), the template supports per-kg pricing. The bill summary shows the total broken down by each GST rate band, making it easy for the shopkeeper to file GST returns. For kirana shops under the composition scheme (turnover up to Rs 1.5 crore), the template switches to a Bill of Supply format with no tax columns. The template includes a built-in database of common grocery items with their HSN codes and GST rates, reducing errors in tax classification.
Kirana shop owners, grocery stores, general stores, provision stores, supermarkets, mini marts, and any retail food store selling a mix of products at different GST rates. Also useful for departmental stores and FMCG distributors.
Step 1: Enter your shop name, address, and GSTIN. Step 2: For each item, enter the product name - the template suggests the HSN and GST rate for common grocery items. Step 3: Enter the MRP and your selling price (ensure selling price does not exceed MRP). Step 4: Enter quantity. Step 5: The template auto-groups items by GST rate and calculates tax separately for each rate. Step 6: The bill summary shows tax at each rate band. Step 7: Print as a compact receipt for customers.
Grocery items span all GST rates: 0% (fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, rice, wheat), 5% (sugar, tea, coffee, edible oil, spices), 12% (butter, ghee, fruit juices, processed food), 18% (ice cream, chocolates, mineral water), 28% (aerated drinks). MRP-based billing is mandatory for pre-packaged goods under the Legal Metrology Act. For the composition scheme (up to Rs 1.5 crore turnover), issue a Bill of Supply at 1% flat rate. HSN codes are mandatory for businesses with turnover above Rs 5 crore (6-digit) and above Rs 1.5 crore (4-digit).
