There is no single best GST billing software for everyone. A kirana store, a distributor and a consulting firm need different things. This checklist helps you judge any software, including ours, against what your business actually does.
The 15-point checklist
| # | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | All GST document types | Tax invoice, bill of supply, credit and debit note, delivery challan, quotation and proforma |
| 2 | Correct CGST/SGST/IGST/UTGST | Wrong tax type means paying again and claiming a refund |
| 3 | GSTIN validation | A typo in a buyer GSTIN costs them ITC and costs you goodwill |
| 4 | Invoice numbering | Consecutive, 16 characters max, separate series, yearly reset |
| 5 | GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B output | JSON for the portal or at least table-wise data for your CA |
| 6 | GSTR-2B reconciliation | Claim only ITC that is in 2B |
| 7 | E-way bill support | JSON or API from the invoice, so details are not typed twice |
| 8 | E-invoice (if turnover above Rs 5 crore) | IRN and QR code are mandatory above the limit |
| 9 | Payments and receivables | Part payments, ledger, aging and reminders |
| 10 | Stock linked to billing | Sales, returns and challans should move stock automatically |
| 11 | Print formats | A4 and thermal, your logo, UPI QR, Hindi labels if your customers need them |
| 12 | Users and roles | Staff should not see what they do not need |
| 13 | Backup and data ownership | Daily backup, export, and a private database for your data |
| 14 | Phone and mobile access | Bills and payments from anywhere |
| 15 | Support you can reach | A real team, in your language, when the return is due tomorrow |
Questions to ask in the demo
- Show me an inter-state invoice and the GSTR-1 table it lands in.
- What happens if I edit an invoice after saving it: does stock change twice?
- How do I cancel an invoice, and how does it show in Documents Issued?
- How do I reconcile GSTR-2B?
- How do I get my data out if I stop using the software?
- Who answers the phone when something breaks?
Cloud, desktop or self-hosted?
| Type | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud (hosted by vendor) | No IT work, access anywhere | Data location, export options, renewal price |
| Desktop | Single PC, no internet needed for billing | Backups, multi-user access, phone access |
| Self-hosted web app | Your own server or hosting, data under your control | Someone must run the server and backups |
NexoraGST is a web application that can run on NexoraSoft hosting, your own hosting or a local office server, with a separate database for each licence.
Be honest about what you need
If your turnover is above Rs 5 crore, e-invoice integration is a must-have, and you should check how the software produces the IRN. If you are below it, a clean tax invoice, reliable returns data and good receivables tracking matter more than long feature lists. For NexoraGST, we list what it does not do on the product page.
📌 GST law changes often. This guide reflects the rules as we understand them in October 2026. Confirm anything specific to your business with your CA or on gst.gov.in.
