Before tools like Khata Billing, small business owners had two bad options:

• Manual handwritten bills — error-prone, hard to track, and not always GST-compliant
• Expensive accounting software — built for accountants, not business owners, with a steep learning curve and high cost

Khata Billing fills the gap: professional, GST-compliant invoices without the complexity or cost.

Here's what you get from day one, even on the free plan:

Create fully compliant GST invoices with automatic tax calculation. Add your business logo, customize invoice numbers, and the tool handles CGST/SGST vs IGST based on the buyer's state automatically. No tax knowledge required.

Add your products once with HSN codes, GST rates, and stock quantities. Every time you create an invoice, stock is automatically reduced. You'll always know what's in stock and get low-stock alerts before you run out.

Khata Billing maintains a ledger for every customer — all their past invoices, payments received, and outstanding balance in one view. No more chasing payments manually or forgetting who owes what.

Once an invoice is created, download it as a professional PDF or share it directly on WhatsApp with one tap. Your customer receives a clean, branded invoice instantly — no printing, no courier.

Khata Billing works best for:

• Retailers and kirana stores — quick billing at the counter
• Wholesalers and traders — bulk invoicing with inventory tracking
• Service businesses — freelancers, consultants, repair shops
• Manufacturers — invoice customers, track raw material stock
• E-commerce sellers — generate invoices for online orders

If you're GST-registered and need to issue invoices regularly, Khata Billing is built for you.

How does Khata Billing stack up against other popular options?

• vs Tally: Tally is powerful but expensive and complex. Khata Billing is simpler and free — ideal for businesses that don't need full accounting.
• vs Vyapar: Both are great. Vyapar has better offline support; Khata Billing is easier to use on web browsers.
• vs Zoho Invoice: Zoho is feature-rich but can feel overwhelming for small shops. Khata Billing is more focused and faster to use.
