Here is an honest, complete list of what you get on Khata Billing's free plan — with no fine print:

Create as many GST invoices as your business needs — 10 a day or 500 a month. There is no invoice limit on the free plan. Each invoice is fully GST-compliant with automatic CGST/SGST or IGST calculation based on the buyer's state.

Invoice numbering is automatic and sequential. Your business logo appears on every invoice. The format meets all GST Act requirements — HSN codes, taxable value, tax split, and total in words included.

Every invoice you generate can be downloaded as a professional PDF instantly — for free. There is no "PDF is a paid feature" lock, and there are no watermarks or "Generated by Khata Billing" footers on free plan invoices. Your customer sees a clean, branded invoice with your logo and business details.

After creating an invoice, share it directly to your customer's WhatsApp in one tap. This is a free feature — not locked behind a paid plan. For Indian small businesses where WhatsApp is the primary communication channel, this is one of the most-used features on Khata Billing.

Add your products with opening stock quantities. Every time you create an invoice, stock is automatically reduced. You can see current stock levels, get low-stock alerts, and run stock valuation reports — all on the free plan.

When you receive new stock from a supplier, record a purchase entry to add it back. Your inventory stays accurate in real time without any manual counting.

Every customer gets their own account showing: all invoices raised, payments received (full and partial), credit notes, and current outstanding balance. You can share the customer's statement via WhatsApp and record payment collection directly against any invoice.

This feature alone replaces the notebooks and Excel sheets that most small businesses use to track collections — and it's completely free.

Khata Billing generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summary reports from your invoice data on the free plan. Share the report with your CA for return filing, or use it to file yourself. No manual data compilation from invoices — the report is always ready and up to date.

Khata Billing's paid plans are designed for businesses that have grown beyond basic billing. The paid features include:

• Multi-user access: Add staff members with role-based permissions — sales team, billing operators, accountants — each with their own login
• Advanced reports: Detailed profit analysis, party-wise profitability, item-wise movement, and custom date range reports
• Priority support: Faster response times and dedicated support for billing or compliance queries
• Additional business tools: Advanced inventory features, purchase order management, and additional customisation options

Paid plans start from ₹299/month — but most small businesses find the free plan covers 100% of their daily needs.

Here's an honest guide:

• Solo business owner, single location, no staff billing: The free plan is all you need. Permanently.
• Growing business with staff who need their own logins: Upgrade to a paid plan for multi-user access.
• Need detailed profit reports or advanced inventory analytics: Paid plan adds these.
• Just starting out and unsure: Start free. You can upgrade anytime — all your data carries forward seamlessly.
