A compliant India invoice should show your GSTIN, a unique invoice number and date, the buyer's details, a description of goods or services, the tax rate and amount, and the total payable in INR.

Do I need a GSTIN to send an invoice in India?

If you are registered for GST you must show your GSTIN on the invoice. Unregistered freelancers and small businesses can still send a simple invoice without charging tax.
