Bills the taxman expects. Books your CA can import.
POSCountr is built around Indian tax and data law — GST invoices that hold up, records that stay put, and privacy rules followed in the open.
- CGST + SGST or IGST worked out from the GSTIN
- Section 9(5) handled for Swiggy and Zomato orders
- DPDP Act, 2023 and IT Rules, 2021 followed in the open
How POSCountr handles GST
Tax invoices
Every completed sale gets a GST tax invoice from its business’s own series, numbered without gaps per financial year (for example INV/26-27/00042). A B2B invoice carries the customer’s name, GSTIN and state.
Place of supply
POSCountr compares the business’s registered state with the customer’s state — taken from their GSTIN where given — and applies CGST + SGST or IGST accordingly. Amounts use exact decimal arithmetic with invoice-level rounding.
HSN & SAC
Each product and membership plan can carry an HSN or SAC code; it is saved onto the invoice line when the invoice is issued, so later product edits never alter an issued invoice.
Section 9(5)
For restaurant services sold through Swiggy or Zomato, the platform is liable for GST under Section 9(5): those lines carry no GST for you, packaged goods stay taxable, and the sale is recorded in a separate CH series. The GST report shows these figures for GSTR-3B.
GST reports
Totals by rate, an HSN summary in GSTR-1 layout, B2B/B2C split and 9(5) figures for any date range, per business.
Accounts
TallyPrime export and a statements workbook; a books lock freezes a filed period.
The rules we follow
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
For owner and staff accounts, Aarvin Ventures is the Data Fiduciary. For customer details that a business records on its bills, the business is the Data Fiduciary and Aarvin Ventures processes them on its behalf, as set out in our Data Processing Terms.
Information Technology Act, 2000 and IT Rules, 2021
We publish a Grievance Officer with contact details, acknowledge grievances within 48 hours and resolve them within the time the Rules allow.
Record keeping
Invoices and the records behind them are kept for as long as GST law requires a business to keep them, even if an account is closed — and remain exportable by the business.
App store requirements
Our apps publish a privacy policy, list every permission they use (camera for barcodes, Bluetooth for printers), and offer in-app account deactivation with a web page to request deletion.
Compliance questions
Is POSCountr a substitute for my CA?
No. POSCountr produces correct invoices and the figures and files your accountant needs. You remain responsible for your product rates, codes and filings.
Does POSCountr issue e-invoices (IRN) or e-way bills?
Not yet. E-invoicing is on our roadmap. Purchases can carry the supplier’s way bill as an attachment.
Can I issue credit notes?
Not yet. A wrong bill can be cancelled and re-issued with “Cancel bill & copy” until the 10th of the following month; after that a credit note is needed and must be raised outside POSCountr for now.
