A GST bill designed for pharmacies, medical stores, and drug retailers with batch tracking, expiry dates, and Drug Licence display.
Pharmacy billing in India requires attention to several regulatory requirements beyond standard GST compliance. This medical bill template is specifically designed for retail and wholesale pharmacies, medical stores, hospital dispensaries, and online medicine platforms. Medicines attract different GST rates based on their classification: life-saving and essential drugs at 5% (Schedule I of DPCO), most prescription medicines at 12%, and premium healthcare products at 18%. The template handles this multi-rate billing seamlessly with automatic GST calculation per line item based on the rate selected. A critical feature is the mandatory display of Drug Licence number (DL number) on every pharmacy bill, as required by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. The template includes fields for batch number, manufacturing date, and expiry date for every medicine, which is essential for traceability and returns management. It supports both strip-wise pricing (per strip of 10/15 tablets) and unit pricing (per tablet). The MRP (Maximum Retail Price) field ensures pharmacies comply with the legal pricing regulations, as selling above MRP is an offence under the Legal Metrology Act. Discount fields handle the common trade and cash discount practices in pharmaceutical sales.
Retail pharmacies, wholesale drug distributors, hospital pharmacies and dispensaries, online medicine delivery platforms, veterinary medicine shops, ayurvedic and homeopathic medicine stores, and medical equipment retailers. This template is essential for anyone selling medicines in India where Drug Licence compliance and batch-wise billing are mandatory.
Step 1: Enter your pharmacy name, address, GSTIN, and Drug Licence numbers (DL-21B and DL-20B for retail). Step 2: For each medicine, enter the brand name, generic name (optional), HSN code (3004 for most), batch number, expiry date, and MRP. Step 3: Enter the quantity (strips or units) and the selling price (which cannot exceed MRP). Step 4: Select the GST rate for each item (5%, 12%, or 18%). Step 5: Add any applicable discount. Step 6: The template auto-calculates GST per item considering multi-rate items. Step 7: Print and hand over with the medicines.
