GST software in Delhi

What Delhi-specific compliance looks like

Delhi's GST is administered by the Department of Trade and Taxes (DTT) under the Government of NCT of Delhi — the successor to the old Sales Tax Department that ran DVAT before July 2017. Because Delhi is a Union Territory with a legislative assembly, supplies inside Delhi attract CGST plus Delhi State GST (under the DGST Act 2017), not UTGST — a distinction that matters when you configure tax heads, because a Delhi shopkeeper billing a Delhi customer shows CGST + SGST, not CGST + UTGST. Multi-GSTIN groups — a Karol Bagh head office with a warehouse in Okhla or a second registration for a distinct vertical — need separate GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B per registration and separate input-tax-credit ledgers. HelloBooks ships multi-GSTIN per entity out of the box, so a Delhi group files every registration from one login without shuffling CSVs between systems.

Unlike most large states, Delhi does not levy a profession tax — there is no PTRC or PTEC registration, no monthly profession-tax challan, and no February top-up slab to track. For a Delhi employer that means payroll compliance is genuinely lighter: TDS on salary, PF and ESIC still apply, but the state-level profession-tax filing that Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Chennai businesses run every month simply doesn't exist here. HelloBooks payroll reflects that automatically — it won't surface a profession-tax line for a Delhi-registered entity, so you don't get phantom liabilities or false reminders for a tax the capital doesn't charge.

E-invoice, e-way bills, and DGST returns in one pass

Any Delhi business with turnover above ₹5 crore is on mandatory e-invoicing — the IRN has to be generated on the NIC portal before the invoice is valid for input-tax credit at the buyer's end. HelloBooks generates the IRN and signed QR in the background when the invoice is created; if the NIC portal rejects (duplicate IRN, schema mismatch, GSTIN-not-found), the failure is surfaced on the invoice itself instead of in a silent log. The same record carries forward to the e-way bill — and Delhi's geography makes this acute, because goods leaving Sadar Bazar or Gandhi Nagar for Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad or Ghaziabad cross into Haryana and UP under the ₹50,000 inter-state rule, while purely intra-Delhi movement follows Delhi's own notified threshold. HelloBooks derives the right EWB requirement from the buyer's location and lets the dispatch team extend or cancel e-way bills from the mobile app without re-keying anything.

For GSTR-1 the Delhi-specific complexity is the NCR place-of-supply mix: a Chandni Chowk wholesaler selling to a Noida buyer shows IGST under POS Uttar Pradesh, a Karol Bagh firm billing a Gurugram client shows IGST under POS Haryana, and a counter sale inside Delhi shows CGST + Delhi-SGST. HelloBooks derives place-of-supply from the buyer's GSTIN, picks the correct tax head automatically, and reflects the same split on GSTR-3B Table 3.1. GSTR-2B reconciliation runs nightly, so the 2A/2B-vs-purchase-register variance is on screen the moment a vendor uploads, instead of being discovered at month-end when the ITC claim is already filed.

Built for Delhi trading, wholesale and export

Delhi's economy is built on wholesale and trade more than any other metro. Chandni Chowk runs textiles, electronics and books; Sadar Bazar is the largest general-goods wholesale market in the country; Khari Baoli is Asia's largest spice market; Gandhi Nagar is Asia's largest garment market; Karol Bagh trades auto parts and jewellery; and Nehru Place and Okhla anchor IT hardware and light manufacturing. These businesses run on high SKU counts, thin margins, fast inventory turns and long credit chains. HelloBooks supports the pattern on one platform: multi-warehouse inventory with bin-level tracking, batch and HSN-wise stock, capital-goods ITC and Rule 42/43 reversals for asset-heavy units, and export documentation for the LUT-based zero-rated supplies that Delhi exporters file. Tally voucher sync is built in for firms that want to keep a parallel Tally book through transition.

Cash flow forecasting for Delhi businesses

A Sadar Bazar wholesaler selling on 30–60 day credit and a Delhi exporter waiting on an LUT refund face the same squeeze — stock is paid for upfront, but cash lands weeks or months later. Meanwhile GST settles on the 20th of the following month and TDS deposits land by the 7th. HelloBooks cash flow forecasting reads AR ageing, recurring revenue and vendor bills already in the system, applies driver-based assumptions (sales growth, collection lag, GST refund timing), and projects a 13-week and 12-month cash position so a Delhi trader sees when GST and supplier outflows force the next working-capital draw. Best/base/worst scenario branches model a key debtor slipping 60 days or an export refund stalling — the same model a CFO would build in Excel, but linked live to the books.
