Most service providers must register once aggregate turnover crosses ₹20 lakh in a financial year, or ₹10 lakh in special-category states. Some cases need registration regardless of turnover, such as certain inter-state or online supplies. Confirm your position on the GST portal or with your CA.
If you are registered, you file GSTR-1 for outward supplies and GSTR-3B for the tax summary. The Free Plan files both for one GSTIN.
Raise GST invoices with your GSTIN and SAC codes, track who has paid with AR aging, and record expenses so input tax credit shows up in the return. Your P&L is ready when you need it for income tax.
The same Free Plan every Indian business gets: permanent, no card, no trial expiry.
Pro at ₹499/month adds GSTR-9 generated ready to file, e-invoicing and unlimited users.
Only the AI is metered. Free includes free AI credits to get started; when they run out, upgrade to get more AI credits; paid plans can also recharge with a credit pack.
Your ledger, invoices, bills, reports and GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing for one GSTIN are never locked, whether or not you upgrade.
“AI categorizes every transaction automatically and learns from your corrections, so a small team keeps clean books without spending evenings on manual data entry.”
“For a practice managing dozens of client books, automated reconciliation turns a full day of matching into a background task — review the AI matches, approve, and move on.”
“Snap a receipt on your phone and the AI reads, categorizes, and files it — bookkeeping stays current even for people who would rather not think about numbers.”
