Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to register for GST?
A: In India, GST registration is mandatory if your annual freelance turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for some states). Below this threshold, you can invoice without GST but mention 'GST not applicable' on your invoice.
Q: What information must a GST invoice contain?
A: A GST-compliant invoice must include: your GSTIN, client's GSTIN (for B2B), invoice number, date, description of services, HSN/SAC code, GST rate, and total amount with GST breakup.
Q: How do I number my invoices?
A: Use a sequential system: INV-001, INV-002, etc. You can also include the year: INV-2026-001. Never repeat invoice numbers — this creates accounting and legal issues.
Q: When should I follow up on unpaid invoices?
A: Send a polite reminder 3 days before the due date, another on the due date, and a firm reminder 7 days after. After 30 days, consider adding a late payment clause to future contracts.
