GST software in Chandigarh
Built for Chandigarh's IT Park, Industrial Area and the tricity trade — CGST + UTGST, multi-GSTIN, e-invoice, e-way bills and GST returns on one ledger. No profession tax to file.
Chandigarh is a Union Territory without a legislature, so its intra-UT supplies attract CGST + UTGST (not SGST). The city is a services, IT and trade hub at the heart of the Punjab-Haryana tricity, with the IT Park, the Industrial Area (Phases I and II) and a dense professional and retail economy. Because so much business crosses into Punjab (Mohali) and Haryana (Panchkula) daily, place-of-supply accuracy is central. HelloBooks files GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 directly to the GSTN through a Fynamics GSP integration, reconciles 2A/2B in the same screen, and tracks the CGST + UTGST split per GSTIN. Chandigarh does not levy a profession tax, so payroll stays free of PT filings.
What Chandigarh-specific compliance looks like
Chandigarh's GST is administered by the Excise and Taxation Department, UT of Chandigarh. Because Chandigarh has no legislature, intra-UT supplies show CGST + UTGST — a configuration point worth getting right, since it is UTGST rather than SGST. Multi-GSTIN appears where a group runs a Chandigarh registration alongside Mohali or Panchkula units; HelloBooks ships multi-GSTIN per entity so each registration files independently with its own ledger.
Chandigarh does not levy a profession tax — there is no PTRC/PTEC registration or monthly PT challan. HelloBooks payroll runs salary TDS, PF and ESIC but won't surface a profession-tax line for a Chandigarh-registered entity.
Tricity cross-border, e-invoice and e-way bills in one pass
Chandigarh business is inseparable from the tricity — a Chandigarh firm billing a Mohali (Punjab) or Panchkula (Haryana) client crosses a state boundary and shows IGST under the relevant POS, while an intra-Chandigarh supply shows CGST + UTGST. HelloBooks derives place-of-supply from the buyer's GSTIN, picks the correct head automatically, and reflects the split on GSTR-3B Table 3.1. Any business above the ₹5 crore threshold gets NIC e-invoicing with the IRN and signed QR generated in the background, and e-way bills flow from the same invoice record.
For services and IT firms, project- and milestone-based revenue with multi-currency AR is supported, and export-of-services under LUT is billed zero-rated with the refund workflow — useful for the IT Park's software and BPO exporters.
Built for Chandigarh IT, trade and the Industrial Area
Chandigarh's commercial base spans IT and software at the IT Park; professional services, BFSI and consulting; light manufacturing and trading in the Industrial Area; and a dense retail and hospitality economy. HelloBooks supports the mix on one platform: project-based revenue and multi-currency AR for IT and services, BOM and inventory for the Industrial Area, multi-store retail billing, and LUT-based export billing for IT exporters. India payroll runs end-to-end with PF, ESIC and gratuity (no profession tax in Chandigarh), and Tally voucher sync is built in.
Cash flow forecasting for Chandigarh businesses
An IT services firm invoicing clients on net-30/45 and a trader carrying stock face the same gap — revenue is booked ahead of collections. Meanwhile GST settles on the 20th and TDS deposits land by the 7th. HelloBooks cash flow forecasting reads AR ageing, recurring revenue and vendor bills, applies driver-based assumptions, and projects a 13-week and 12-month cash position with best/base/worst branches — the same model a CFO would build in Excel, but linked live to the books.
Key features for Chandigarh businesses
CGST + UTGST configuration
Intra-UT supplies post as CGST + UTGST because Chandigarh is a UT without a legislature, and tricity sales into Punjab/Haryana auto-derive IGST by place of supply.
Tricity cross-border place-of-supply
Mohali and Panchkula billing auto-derives IGST under the right POS, while intra-Chandigarh supply stays CGST + UTGST.
LUT export-of-services billing
Bill IT Park software and BPO exports zero-rated under LUT, flagged on GSTR-1 and carried into the refund workflow.
NIC e-invoice + e-way bill in one click
IRN and signed QR generated when the invoice is saved; e-way bills flow from the same record, with nightly 2A/2B reconciliation.
