Invoices your CA will not send back
Indian franchise billing has two moving parts a global system treats as one: the GST you charge on the invoice, and the TDS your franchisee deducts before paying it.

What breaks without it
Invoices are made in one system, TDS is reconciled in another, and the difference between what you billed and what you banked is explained once a quarter by an accountant.
How it works
Fees, GST & TDS, step by step
Set the fee schedule
Franchise fee, renewal fee, training and any brand-specific charges — with the fee types your business actually uses rather than a fixed list.
Raise a compliant invoice
Rule 46 fields, the correct SAC, place of supply, and your brand identity on the document. What lands in the franchisee’s inbox looks like it came from you.
Expect the TDS
The receivable knows the franchisee will deposit TDS under 194J or 194H. The credit is tracked against the invoice rather than appearing as a shortfall to be chased.
Collect and reconcile
Payment links against the invoice, and a receivable that closes when the payment and the TDS credit together account for the billed amount.
What you get
- GST invoices under Rule 46 with the SAC on the document
- A TDS credit ledger per counterparty
- Fee schedules per brand and per agreement
- Payment links and a receivable that closes correctly
The India detail
The gap is not a shortfall
A franchisee who pays 90% of an invoice has not underpaid if the other 10% went to the government as TDS. Software that cannot model that produces a permanent list of fake arrears, and eventually nobody trusts the ageing report.
Questions people ask
- Do invoices carry our branding?
- Yes. Logo, GST number, address and bank details come from your brand identity, so every artifact looks like yours rather than ours.
- Which SAC is used for franchise fees?
- The SAC is configured per fee type on your tax profile — franchise and licensing services commonly sit under 9983. We put the value on the document; your CA decides what it should be.
- Is e-invoicing (IRN) supported?
- Not today. If your turnover puts you in the e-invoicing net, that is a gap worth raising with us before you buy rather than after.
- Can we invoice in advance of a royalty run?
- Fees and royalty are separate flows. Fee schedules invoice on their own dates; royalty invoices follow the period close.
