GST software in Puducherry
Built for Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam — CGST + Puducherry SGST, multi-GSTIN, e-invoice, e-way bills, GST returns and profession tax on one ledger.
Puducherry is a Union Territory with its own legislature, so — like Delhi and J&K — its intra-UT supplies attract CGST + Puducherry State GST under the Puducherry GST Act, not UTGST. The UT has a substantial manufacturing base (auto components, pharma and textiles in its industrial estates), a strong tourism and French-heritage retail economy, and outlying enclaves at Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam. 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, tracks the CGST + Puducherry-SGST split per GSTIN, and — because Puducherry is the one UT that levies a profession tax — runs Puducherry PT withholding inside payroll.
What Puducherry-specific compliance looks like
Puducherry's GST is administered by the Commercial Taxes Department, UT of Puducherry. Because Puducherry has a legislature, intra-UT supplies show CGST + Puducherry SGST — SGST, not UTGST. Multi-GSTIN appears where a group operates across the Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam regions, which are geographically separated; HelloBooks ships multi-GSTIN per entity so each registration files independently with its own ledger.
Puducherry is the one Union Territory that levies a profession tax. Employers register, deduct PT from salaries at the UT slabs, and file the periodic return. HelloBooks runs Puducherry PT withholding inside payroll, generates the challan, and tracks the due date alongside salary TDS, PF and ESIC.
Manufacturing, e-invoice and e-way bills in one pass
Puducherry's auto-component and pharma plants run on BOM, work-orders and job-work. HelloBooks tracks material sent against the principal, generates ITC-04, reconciles finished goods against the challan, and apportions capital-goods ITC under Rule 42/43. Any business above the ₹5 crore threshold gets NIC e-invoicing with the IRN and signed QR generated in the background.
Because the UT sits inside Tamil Nadu (and Yanam inside Andhra Pradesh, Mahe inside Kerala), cross-border movement is constant: a Puducherry component maker billing a Chennai OEM shows IGST under POS Tamil Nadu, while an intra-UT supply shows CGST + Puducherry-SGST. HelloBooks derives the head from the buyer's GSTIN, reflects the split on GSTR-3B Table 3.1, creates e-way bills from the same record, and runs nightly 2A/2B reconciliation.
Built for Puducherry manufacturing, tourism and trade
Puducherry's commercial base spans auto components, pharma and textiles in its industrial estates; a large tourism, hospitality and French-heritage retail economy; and trade across the four regions. HelloBooks supports the mix on one platform: BOM and job-work (ITC-04) flows for manufacturing, batch tracking with capital-goods ITC for pharma, occupancy-based revenue for hospitality, and multi-warehouse stock for distributors. India payroll runs end-to-end with PF, ESIC, gratuity and Puducherry profession tax, and Tally voucher sync is built in.
Cash flow forecasting for Puducherry businesses
An auto-component supplier on OEM terms and a hotel with a seasonal swing face the same gap — costs run ahead of collections. Meanwhile GST settles on the 20th, TDS deposits land by the 7th, and Puducherry profession tax clears periodically. 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 Puducherry businesses
CGST + Puducherry SGST (not UTGST)
Intra-UT supplies post as CGST + Puducherry SGST because Puducherry is a UT with a legislature, and cross-border sales into TN/AP/Kerala auto-derive IGST by place of supply.
Puducherry profession tax in payroll
Puducherry PT withheld at the UT slabs during payroll, the challan generated, and the due date tracked alongside PF, ESIC and salary TDS.
Job-work (ITC-04) + capital-goods ITC
Track material sent to job-workers, generate ITC-04, and apportion capital-goods ITC under Rule 42/43 for auto and pharma plants.
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 for cross-border movement into the surrounding states.
