Billing is where travel agencies lose time

Between instalments from customers, payments to hotels and transporters, and TCS on overseas packages, the month-end paperwork of a travel business is heavier than most. Spreadsheets and hand-typed invoices lead to numbering gaps, wrong tax splits and last-minute rushes before the filing dates.

What TripSarthi does for you

The right document. Tax invoice when you have a GSTIN, bill of supply when you do not, plus credit notes, payment receipts and service vouchers — all as branded PDFs.
Correct tax split. CGST and SGST when the supply is within your state, IGST when it is not, based on the place of supply; GSTINs are checked for validity.
Gap-free numbering. Invoice numbers run in sequence for each financial year, and an issued invoice cannot be edited — corrections are made with credit notes.
Exports for your CA. GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and HSN summary exports, a sales register for Excel, and Tally vouchers.
Filing tracker. Reminders ahead of the filing dates and a place to mark returns as filed.
TCS tracking. Tax collected at source on overseas packages is tracked against the payments you receive, by quarter, with a collectee-wise report.
E-invoicing. For businesses above the turnover threshold, invoices can be registered for an IRN through your GST Suvidha Provider.

GST invoices and return exports for a travel agency

Rates are settings, not surprises

GST and TCS rules change. TripSarthi keeps rates as settings you control and shows how every figure was calculated, so you and your accountant can verify them. We do not give tax advice: have your chartered accountant confirm the GST scheme (with or without input tax credit), the TCS treatment and your filing calendar before you rely on any exported file. See our month-end checklist for travel agents for a practical routine.

Customer-friendly by default

Customers receive a clean invoice or receipt with your logo, bank and UPI details and a QR code for the balance. Your supplier costs and margin never appear on anything a customer can open.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does TripSarthi support GST invoices for travel agents and tour operators?

Yes. It issues tax invoices, bills of supply, credit notes and receipts with the correct CGST, SGST or IGST split, gap-free numbering and branded PDFs.

Can I export GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

Yes. TripSarthi prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data, an HSN summary and a sales register for each month. Have your CA review the first month’s files before filing.

How does it handle TCS on overseas tour packages?

TCS is tracked against the payments you actually receive, with a quarterly view and a report for your accountant. The rate is a setting, so you can follow the rules in force; please confirm the treatment with your CA.

Is e-invoicing supported?

Yes, for businesses that need it, through your GST Suvidha Provider. Test in the provider’s sandbox first.
