GST Invoice Checker
Enter the details from a GST invoice to validate the GSTIN format, check that the tax breakdown is consistent, and confirm the invoice is complete for ITC purposes.
What Makes a Valid GST Invoice?
Under Rule 46 of the CGST Rules, a tax invoice must contain:
- Supplier's name, GSTIN, and address
- Invoice number (unique within a financial year)
- Date of issue
- Recipient's name, GSTIN (if registered), and address
- Place of supply (with state name and code)
- Description of goods or services, HSN code (for goods), SAC code (for services)
- Quantity and unit
- Total value before tax
- Taxable value after discounts
- Rate of tax (CGST, SGST, IGST separately)
- Amount of tax charged
- Total amount after tax
- Whether tax is payable on reverse charge basis
This tool validates a subset of these requirements — specifically the GSTIN format, tax breakdown consistency, and basic invoice completeness. A full compliance check requires additional information.
