This is you — the person/business the brand will pay. Two things to be careful about before you fill these in:

• Your name must match your bank account name exactly. Brand accounts teams reject mismatches, and you'll have to redo the whole invoice.
• GSTIN is a 15-character government ID for GST-registered businesses. Most creators under ₹20L gross / year don't have one and don't need one — leave it blank if that's you. The invoice still works without it.
• PAN is your 10-character income-tax ID. Brands often ask for it for TDS records (they deduct ~10% TDS on payments to creators under Section 194J). Include it if you have it — speeds up payment processing.

The brand or agency that owes you money. Critical: never invoice without a clear "bill to" party. If you put "Mamaearth" instead of "Honasa Consumer Pvt Ltd", accounts teams will reject the invoice. Ask the brand for the legal entity name if you don't have it — it's a normal request and they're used to it.

• Brand legal name is usually different from the public brand name. Ask the brand point-of-contact for "the registered legal entity for the invoice" — they'll know what you mean.
• Brand GSTIN matters because if the brand is registered, they want it on your invoice so they can claim input tax credit on what they paid you. No GSTIN is fine — just leave it blank.
• Brand state is just part of their address on the invoice. (CGST/SGST/IGST splits only matter once you're GST-registered — and at that point you need a CA, not this tool.)

Three small fields that matter more than they look. The invoice number is your primary record — it's how you, the brand, and your CA find this specific transaction in a year's time.

• Invoice number rules: unique, sequential, never repeat, never skip. Pick a format like MC-2026-001 and stick with it forever. The next one is MC-2026-002. If you're registered for GST, this format must include the financial year (Apr–Mar in India) and reset every April 1.
• Issue date is the day you create the invoice — usually today. This is the date the brand's books will record the expense.
• Due date is optional. Brands rarely stick to it, so leave it blank if you like. If you do set one, 15 days is the India standard and 30 is the absolute max — anything longer, ask for an advance instead.

Each line is one deliverable. Specific descriptions get paid faster than vague ones — "1 × Reel (30s, organic, posted on @yourhandle)" beats "Reel." Use quantity × rate so 2 Reels at ₹8,000 reads as qty 2 × rate 8000, and add usage rights or exclusivity as their own lines.

This tool is built specifically for creators making under ₹20 lakh / year — i.e. creators who are NOT registered for GST. If that's you, you're in the right place. Skip the checkbox below and proceed to bank details.

If you've crossed (or are about to cross) ₹20 lakh / year — this tool isn't for you. Tick the box below to see what you should do instead.

How to know if you're registered: do you have a GSTIN (a 15-character ID)? If no, you're not. If yes, you are.

Where the brand sends the money. No bank details = no payment, period. Two safety notes worth flagging:

• Account holder name must match the "bill from" name above exactly. Banks reject mismatched transfers, and the brand will come back asking you to redo the invoice.
• UPI vs bank account: UPI is convenient and free for under ₹50,000. For larger amounts, brands prefer NEFT/IMPS to a bank account because it leaves a clearer audit trail. Always include both fields if you can — let the brand pick.
• Don't share these publicly. The PDF is fine to email, but never post a screenshot of the invoice with bank details visible (e.g., on Instagram).

What goes at the bottom of the invoice. The default text is fine for most situations and you can leave it as-is. If you want to customise, here's what creators typically add:

• PO number reference — if the brand sent you a Purchase Order, mention its number here ("against PO #ABC123"). Speeds up matching on their end.
• Late payment terms — "late payments may incur interest at 1.5% per month" is standard and reasonable.
• Forward charge mention — if you're charging GST, add "Tax to be paid under forward charge" (this is standard; reverse charge is the unusual case).

Optional, but it makes the invoice feel finished. Draw it with your finger or mouse, or upload a photo/scan (transparent PNG works best). Many creators send invoices with just the typed name.
