GST Invoice Generator (Free)ReconScribe Invoice

A good GST invoice generator should get the tax right without you having to think about it, and still look like something you would be happy to send a client. ReconScribe Invoice does both: pick an invoice type, fill in a few fields, and download a clean, correctly taxed PDF in under a minute.

Try it right now, with a real live preview, in the Invoice Generator demo. It is fully interactive: change any field, switch templates, and download the PDF, no signup required.

Why most invoice templates get GST wrong

Generic invoice templates treat tax as one flat percentage. Real GST does not work that way. Whether you charge CGST plus SGST or IGST depends on the state your customer is in. A composition-scheme seller cannot charge GST at all, and the document should say “Bill of Supply”, not “Tax Invoice”. A consultant billing mileage and reimbursable expenses needs those to sit outside the taxable amount, and possibly a TDS deduction on top. A downloadable spreadsheet template cannot follow any of that. A GST invoice generator built for it can, which is the whole point of ReconScribe Invoice.

Four invoice types, each with the right tax logic

Pick the type that matches how you bill, and the fields and tax behaviour change to match it.

Standard

A simple bill with one flat tax rate. Good for a straightforward sale or service with a single applicable tax.

Consultant/Retainer

Built for freelancers and consultants: add mileage at a rate per kilometre, add reimbursable expenses that are billed at cost and kept outside the taxable base, and deduct TDS at source using the current Income Tax Act sections, for example 194J for professional and technical fees or 194C for a contractor payment. Check the applicable rate at incometax.gov.in or with our own TDS rate calculator before you bill it.

Business (GST)

Full Indian GST compliance. Add an HSN or SAC code per line item, and ReconScribe applies GST per line at the rate you choose. It works out CGST plus SGST for an intra-state sale or IGST for an inter-state sale automatically from your company’s state and your customer’s state, with a place-of-supply field for the record.

Custom

Any number of named taxes at any rate, with no GST framing, so it also works cleanly for export or foreign-currency invoices that should never say “Tax Invoice”.

GST that is actually correct, including composition scheme

If your company is registered under the GST composition scheme, ReconScribe will not add CGST, SGST or IGST to an invoice even if a line item has a GST rate set, because a composition dealer is not eligible to collect tax on its supplies. The document is generated as a Bill of Supply, with a clear note to that effect, instead of a Tax Invoice. Regular and unregistered sellers get the standard tax treatment. Confirm your own GST registration type and the current rate slabs at cbic.gov.in before you rely on any invoice for a filing.

Seven templates, eight themes, your branding

Every invoice type works with any template, so you are never stuck with one look.

• Clean, a modern service invoice with a bold balance-due chip.
• Indian GST, with GSTIN, HSN and a Bill To/Ship To layout built for Indian tax invoices.
• Export, for tax invoices that need an LUT reference and an RBI purpose code.
• Modern, with a bold accent header.
• Minimal, airy and unfilled for a quieter look.
• Letterhead, a classic, ruled, formal layout.
• Detailed, which surfaces every field, including bank details and terms, right on the page.

Pick from 8 curated colour and font themes, or set your own accent colour, choose Noto Sans or Noto Serif, and switch between a comfortable or compact layout. Add your logo and, on paid plans, a signature image, so every invoice looks like it came from your business, not a template site.

Every field you can fill in

Nothing is hidden behind a paywall while you are building the invoice itself. The fields available include:

• Invoice details: invoice number, date, due date, payment terms, purchase order or other reference, and an “Attn:” line.
• Bill To and Ship To: full address, state and country from a complete list, customer GSTIN, and an optional separate shipping address.
• Line items: item name and description, HSN or SAC code, quantity, rate, and a per-line GST rate for Business (GST) invoices.
• Mileage and reimbursables: for Consultant/Retainer invoices, a mileage rate and reimbursable expenses billed at cost.
• Tax and totals: a single tax rate and label, or stacked additional taxes, plus TDS deduction with the applicable section, an advance or partial payment already received, and the balance due.
• Notes and signatory: payment notes, terms and conditions, and an authorised signatory name.
• Supporting documents: attach expense PDFs or receipt images and they are merged straight into the downloaded PDF.
• Company profile: saved once and reused on every invoice, including your GSTIN, PAN, bank account, IFSC or SWIFT code, logo, invoice number sequence, currency and number and date formats.

Eight currencies are supported, including INR, USD, EUR and GBP, and the total is spelled out in words using Indian numbering (lakh and crore) for INR and international numbering for the rest.

A PDF you can actually trust

The PDF is generated as a real vector document, not a screenshot, so the text is sharp at any zoom level, and it is selectable and searchable. It uses fonts built for wide script support, so currency symbols such as the rupee sign render correctly, and a small technical fix prevents common letter pairs like “fi” or “fl” from being copied as a single broken character when someone pastes your invoice text elsewhere.

How to create a GST invoice in ReconScribe

1. Open the Invoice Generator and choose an invoice type: Standard, Consultant/Retainer, Business (GST) or Custom.
2. Set up your company details once, including your GSTIN, PAN, bank details and logo. ReconScribe reuses them on every invoice after that.
3. Fill in Bill To for your customer, and turn on Ship To if the delivery address is different.
4. Add your line items: description, an HSN or SAC code where relevant, quantity and rate.
5. Check Tax & totals. For a Business (GST) invoice, CGST plus SGST or IGST is applied automatically based on state; for other types, set a single tax rate or add extra taxes.
6. Add notes, terms and an authorised signatory, and attach any supporting documents.
7. Switch to the Design tab and pick a template and a colour theme that matches your brand.
8. Download the PDF. It is ready to email straight away, with a searchable, selectable layout.

GST invoice generator: FAQs

Is this GST invoice generator free?

Yes. You can generate up to 50 invoices a month for free, with GST-ready invoice types, three colour themes and a saved company profile. Paid plans raise the monthly limit and add permanent history, more saved clients, supporting documents and a signature.

Does it handle CGST, SGST and IGST automatically?

Yes. Choose the Business (GST) invoice type, add an HSN or SAC code and a GST rate to each line item, and ReconScribe works out CGST plus SGST for an intra-state sale or IGST for an inter-state sale from your company’s and customer’s states.

What happens if my business is under the GST composition scheme?

ReconScribe will not add any GST to the invoice and generates a Bill of Supply instead of a Tax Invoice, since a composition dealer cannot charge GST on its supplies.

Can I use it for consulting invoices with TDS?

Yes. The Consultant/Retainer invoice type supports mileage, reimbursable expenses billed at cost, and a TDS deduction at source using the current Income Tax Act section for the payment type.

Can I try it without creating an account?

Yes. The live demo is fully interactive: edit any field, switch templates and themes, and download a real PDF, with no signup.
