Free Invoice Generator for India
By Harlequin Doyon
Whether you're a freelancer in Bengaluru billing a US client or a registered business raising a GST invoice in Mumbai, Speed Invoices lets you build the invoice online and download a clean PDF. It's free, needs no signup, and your data stays in your browser.
What an Indian invoice should include
- Your details — business name, address, and your GSTIN if you're GST-registered.
- Your client's details — name, address, and their GSTIN for B2B invoices.
- A sequential invoice number — configurable numbering keeps your series consistent.
- Dates — issue date, and a due date so payment terms are clear.
- Line items — description, quantity, rate, and amount for each service or product.
- Tax breakdown — GST shown as its own line(s), not buried in the total.
- The total payable, in words on formal invoices if you prefer.
How GST works on the invoice
GST is charged in rate slabs — commonly 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% — with 18% typical for services. For a supply within your own state you split the rate into CGST + SGST (9% + 9% for an 18% supply); for an inter-state supply you charge a single IGST line at the full rate.
A quick example for an 18% service billed inter-state:
- Consulting services: ₹50,000
- IGST (18%): +₹9,000
- Total: ₹59,000
In Speed Invoices, set the currency to INR (₹), then add custom tax lines — one IGST line, or separate CGST and SGST lines — and the totals calculate automatically. Discounts work the same way.
Billing clients abroad
Many Indian freelancers and agencies invoice overseas clients in USD, EUR, or GBP. The generator supports 46 currencies and 7 date formats, so you can switch a client's invoice to USD without changing tools. If you invoice clients in Singapore or the UK, those pages cover what their local invoices look like too.
Make it look professional
Add your logo, write rich-text line descriptions, pick a PDF template, and set your own invoice numbering format. Speed Invoices also generates receipts, quotes, credit notes, and purchase orders when you need paperwork beyond the invoice itself.
