What accounting software has to handle in India
Indian books are shaped by GST. Every sale needs the right HSN or SAC code, the right rate, and the right place of supply, because an interstate sale attracts IGST while a local one splits into CGST and SGST. Above a turnover threshold, invoices must be registered on the government portal before they are valid, and goods moving above a value need an e-way bill. Purchases must be reconciled against what suppliers filed, or input credit is lost.
Then there are the practices that generic products ignore: credit periods that differ by customer, job-work challans, TDS on vendor payments, multiple firms under one family, and accountants who work in a specific filing tool at year end. Software that fits Indian businesses starts with these rules built in, not added as workarounds.
