Restaurant ka GST bill — rate confirm karo, sample bill review karo.

Restaurant service other than at specified premises is taxed at 5% without input tax credit. Credit cannot be claimed on purchases used for that service, including a software subscription, merely because the restaurant is GST-registered.

GST 18% (where applicable) depends on specified-premises rules and applicable declarations. Hotel location alone is insufficient. The rules consider hotel accommodation supplied in the preceding financial year and declarations under the applicable notification. Rates are not freely interchangeable. Confirm your case with your accountant using the official restaurant GST FAQ and Notification 05/2025.

Configure after review. Set the applicable GST mode in Settings on your accountant's advice. Configure item tax treatment only after your accountant confirms it. Tax treatment may differ when an item is sold separately versus supplied as part of restaurant service. The setup guide is your first GST bill.

Registration depends on aggregate turnover, location and the supplies your business makes. Ask your accountant to confirm the requirements for your outlet rather than applying a general threshold from a billing-software page.

EasyKOT's Not GST-registered setting prints bills without a tax line. The setting does not determine whether your business needs registration.

Ask your accountant whether the composition scheme applies to your business and which restrictions, returns and invoice requirements you must follow.

• Composition mode. EasyKOT prints BILL OF SUPPLY, with no tax line and the composition declaration from your settings.
• Aggregator sales. Have your accountant confirm how platform sales affect your eligibility and reporting.
• Review the bill. Show a sample to your accountant before live sales.

Restaurant services supplied through an e-commerce operator can fall under section 9(5), where the operator pays the tax. The official CBIC circular on restaurant services through e-commerce operatorsalso addresses supplies from unregistered restaurants. Platform sales do not by themselves establish that every restaurant must register.

Confirm your restaurant's registration and reporting with your accountant. Keep platform statements available for reconciliation. The menu pricing postdiscusses the costs of an aggregator order.

CBIC's invoice rulesset out invoice requirements. The features below describe what EasyKOT can print, rather than a complete compliance checklist. Review a sample with your accountant.

• Configured business details: store name, GSTIN, address and state for tax and composition bills.
• Invoice number and date: a separate series for each EasyKOT Desktop App.
• Item lines: descriptions, quantities and prices.
• Tax breakdowns: CGST and SGST from configured GST settings.
• Round-off and total: with payment details.
• Reprints: the original number and date, stamped DUPLICATE.
• Accountant review: confirm any additional codes, customer details, declarations or invoice requirements your business needs.

The FSSAI licence number is a separate rule (the Food Safety authority's, since January 2022), not Rule 46. It goes in the same Settings page as the GSTIN, and the Desktop App prints it under your address on every bill, GST or not.

None of that is typing at the counter. Fill your invoice identity once in the dashboard (GSTIN, address, state and state code), pick your GST rate in Settings, and every settle prints a slip with the supplier block, a consecutive number per Desktop App (T1/2627/00001, minted when the bill is made so a walkout never burns one), the lines, CGST and SGST split in half, round-off, the total and the tender. A reprint keeps the number and date and is stamped DUPLICATE. At day close the Desktop App shows each series' first and last numbers, issued and cancelled counts, and gap warnings.

Review before live sales. The official GST sources above were checked on 30 September 2026. Confirm your registration, rate, scheme and item tax treatment with your accountant, then review a sample bill. EasyKOT uses your configured settings; printing a bill does not establish legal compliance.
