What is a bill book format?
A bill book is a booklet of serially numbered sales bills a shop or business issues to customers for each sale. A bill book format lays out the fields — bill number, date, shop and customer details, items with quantity and rate, taxes and total — so every bill is consistent and record-ready.
How do I make a bill book format in Excel?
Start from a free HelloBooks bill book format: add your shop name, GSTIN and logo, then create a table with columns for item, quantity, rate, and amount, with rows for subtotal, GST and total. You can download the Excel, PDF or Word version and print it, or generate the same bills digitally in HelloBooks with automatic serial numbering.
Is a bill book valid under GST?
A GST-registered business must issue a proper tax invoice showing GSTIN and the CGST/SGST/IGST breakup. A bill book that includes those fields works as your GST bill format. Unregistered small traders below the GST threshold can issue a simple bill or cash memo instead.
Can HelloBooks replace a physical bill book?
Yes. HelloBooks generates serially numbered, GST-ready bills you can print or send over WhatsApp, email or SMS — with automatic tax calculation, payment tracking and reminders — so you get the bill book format without maintaining a paper booklet.
