A free GST invoice template for Excel
A tax invoice for professional services in India. Choose the place of supply and the template charges CGST and SGST within your state, IGST between states, and treats a client outside India as an export.
It is a template, not tax advice: check the rate and the SAC code for your own supply.
What is in it
- Your GSTIN and the recipient’s, the invoice number and date, and the place of supply from a list of states.
- A line per kind of work with its SAC code, quantity, rate and taxable value.
- CGST and SGST, or IGST, worked out from your state and the place of supply.
- An export option under a Letter of Undertaking, which zero-rates the supply and prints the declaration.
- A separate section for disbursements recovered as a pure agent under CGST Rule 33, kept out of the taxable value.
- A line saying whether tax is payable on reverse charge, and a block for the authorised signatory.

Invoices raised from the hours
ReliTime raises GST invoices from approved timesheets, numbers them consecutively within the financial year, works the tax out from both parties’ registrations, and corrects an issued invoice with a credit or debit note.
Questions people ask
Is the GST invoice template free?
Yes. Download it and use it as you like, with no sign-up and no email address needed.
Does it work in Google Sheets or LibreOffice?
Yes. Every figure is an ordinary formula with no macros, so it opens in Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc and works in each.
How does it decide between CGST and SGST or IGST?
It reads your state code from the first two digits of your GSTIN and compares it with the place of supply you choose: the same state charges CGST and SGST, a different state charges IGST, and a client outside India is treated as an export.
Where do costs I paid on the client’s behalf go?
Under Disbursements, if you are recovering exactly what they cost with the client’s agreement: they are added to the total and not to the taxable value. Anything with a markup is your own supply and belongs in the lines, where it is taxed.
Does it number invoices for me?
No. Type the next number in your series. CGST Rule 46 wants numbers that are consecutive within a financial year and no longer than sixteen characters.
See it on your own kind of work
We set ReliTime up with a walkthrough rather than a sign-up form. We will take you through a working organisation, from a week of timesheets through approvals and work in progress to a GST invoice, answer your questions as we go, and set up yours.
