How HelloBooks does this
HelloBooks handles Rajasthan compliance end-to-end — GSTIN validation against state code 08, automatic CGST + SGST split on intra-state supplies, and direct GSTR filing.
- 1
Configure your Rajasthan GST profile
Add your Rajasthan GSTIN (state code 08), trade name, and PAN in Settings → Taxes. HelloBooks validates the state code and the embedded PAN automatically. Mark your registration type (Regular, Composition, SEZ, Casual, Non-Resident, Input Service Distributor).
- 2
Add Rajasthan place of supply on every transaction
Tag the place of supply on every invoice and bill. When the customer's place of supply is Rajasthan (and your registration is also Rajasthan), HelloBooks charges CGST + SGST in equal halves of the rate. Inter-state supplies trigger IGST.
- 3
Skip Professional Tax — Rajasthan does not levy it
Rajasthan salaries do not have a Professional Tax deduction. HelloBooks payroll skips the PT line for Rajasthan-based employees automatically.
- 4
File monthly / quarterly GST returns from the books
HelloBooks aggregates your Rajasthan invoices, credit notes, and amendments into GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and the GSTR-3B liability summary. Review, then file directly via the GST portal or export the JSON.
- 5
Reconcile GSTR-2B against your purchase register
Each month, the GST portal publishes GSTR-2B — auto-drafted from your suppliers' GSTR-1 filings. HelloBooks reconciles this against your purchase register and flags missing input tax credit before the ITC claim window closes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Rajasthan GST state code?
08. Every GSTIN issued in Rajasthan starts with 08, followed by the entity's 10-character PAN and three further characters. HelloBooks validates the structure and the embedded state code whenever you save a customer or vendor master.
What is the GST registration threshold in Rajasthan?
₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for services) — standard national thresholds. Inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators, casual taxable persons, and persons under reverse charge must register from the first rupee — no threshold applies.
Does Rajasthan levy Professional Tax?
Rajasthan does not levy Professional Tax. Salary deductions for PT do not apply.
Rajasthan is a State — does that change my GST compliance?
Rajasthan levies SGST alongside CGST on intra-state supplies (each half of the rate). Inter-state supplies attract IGST. Returns and filing process are identical across states.
Where do I file Rajasthan GST returns?
All GST returns are filed through the central GST portal (gst.gov.in) — there is no state-specific filing portal. The Rajasthan Commercial Taxes Department (https://www.rajtax.gov.in/) handles state-level matters: registration assistance, advance rulings, and Professional Tax / state-specific cesses.
How does HelloBooks handle Rajasthan compliance?
HelloBooks validates Rajasthan GSTINs (state code 08 expected), applies the right CGST + SGST split on intra-state supplies, builds filing-ready GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B for Rajasthan-registered entities, and tracks applicable state-specific deductions on payroll.
