An invoice is more than a bill — it's a legal record, a promise of payment and, for GST-registered businesses, a mandatory tax document. A well-designed invoice template makes your business look professional, gets you paid faster and keeps you compliant with the GST Act. Our free invoice templates are built for Indian businesses — retail shops, wholesalers, restaurants, freelancers, agencies, consultants, medical stores, and construction firms.

Complete guide
The complete guide to invoice templates in India
Everything Indian business owners need to know — GST rules, formats, workflow and the fastest way to send a professional invoice.
What is a GST invoice template?
A GST invoice template is a pre-designed layout that includes every field required under Rule 46 of the CGST Rules: supplier name, GSTIN, invoice number, date, buyer details, HSN/SAC code, quantity, taxable value, CGST, SGST or IGST, and total amount. Our templates automatically calculate CGST + SGST for intra-state supply and IGST for inter-state supply.

Template vs generator vs billing software
An invoice template is a one-time design. An invoice generator lets you fill and export a single invoice. A full billing software like SaathiX ERP manages invoices, stock, parties, payments, GST returns and reports for your entire shop. Start with a template, graduate to the app when you're ready.
What size is an invoice — A4 or thermal?
Most Indian businesses print on A4 (210 × 297 mm), which is what all of our templates render at. Retail counters using thermal printers (58 mm or 80 mm) can generate compact bills directly from the SaathiX POS. For labels, use our free Barcode Generator.

File formats: PDF, PNG, JPEG
Our editor exports invoices as PDF (best for email and print), PNG or JPEG (for WhatsApp and chat). Word and Excel formats are legacy and lose GST calculations when edited — PDF from a live editor is more accurate and easier to share.
Are these invoice templates really free?
Yes. Unlimited edits, unlimited downloads, no watermark. We only ask for your name, email and business name the first time you download — so we can send you occasional product updates. You can opt out any time.
