UP GST — Key Billing Rules

For UP businesses: Sales to buyers within UP (GSTIN starts with 09) → CGST + SGST. Sales to buyers in other states → IGST. Important: Noida-based IT companies billing Delhi NCR clients — Since Delhi is a UT (state code 07), not UP (09), the sale is inter-state — charge IGST even though Noida and Delhi are adjacent. This surprises many Noida businesses. Lucknow service providers billing Kanpur clients → both in UP (state code 09) → CGST + SGST. Agra manufacturers exporting leather goods internationally → zero-rated, no GST on invoice.

FAQs

What is Uttar Pradesh GST state code?

Uttar Pradesh's GST state code is 09. GSTINs of UP-registered businesses start with 09 (e.g., 09ABCDE1234F1Z5).

Does a Noida business bill Delhi clients with IGST or CGST?

IGST. Noida is in UP (state code 09) and Delhi is a UT (code 07). Even though geographically adjacent, it is an inter-state transaction — IGST applies.

What are the main GST-registered industries in UP?

Leather goods (Agra, Kanpur), Textiles and carpets (Varanasi, Bhadohi), IT and BPO (Noida), Sugar manufacturing, Handicrafts and brassware (Moradabad).

Is UP a special category state?

No. Uttar Pradesh follows standard GST registration thresholds (₹40 lakh for goods, ₹20 lakh for services).

Why Businesses Stop Using Excel for GST Invoices

Manual GST calculation mistakes

One wrong CGST/SGST split or a misapplied rate triggers notices and ITC denial for your buyer.

Slow invoice creation

Copying last month's Excel file, updating dates, recalculating — 20 minutes for what should take 30 seconds.

Formatting breaks on every device

Excel invoices look different on every printer and PDF converter. Clients complain about unreadable layouts.

No easy sharing or payment link

Sending PDFs over WhatsApp with no way for clients to pay directly slows down collections.

Incorrect tax type (IGST vs CGST+SGST)

Excel can't auto-detect intra vs inter-state supply. Wrong tax type = ITC rejected for your buyer.
