Specimen: a quietlybuild invoice

A specimen invoice.

This is what an invoice from me looks like: who it comes from, what it says, and what to check before you pay. It is the second of four, the one you pay to book the build, for the same invented business as the specimen scope.

In short, if you are outside India: one amount, in your own currency (in US dollars in New Zealand and the Gulf), with no Indian tax added. You pay it by an ordinary bank transfer to the account printed on your real invoice. Any tax in your own country is for your accountant; the box near the end says how it usually works in the UK. The rest is what Indian law asks an invoice to show.

Invented, and not payable. The client, the dates and the exchange rate are made up, and no bank details are printed here. On your real invoice the account details for your currency sit where this one says so, and the invoice reaches you only from the address in the red box.

Before you pay

Payment details only ever come from aditya@growmintmedia.in, and they never change by email. If a message says they have, WhatsApp me before you pay.

Tax in your country

A business customer in the United Kingdom accounts for any UK VAT itself, under the reverse charge. Elsewhere, this box says the same for your country; ask your accountant how a service bought from abroad is treated there.

What every invoice carries, and why.

Indian GST law (rule 46 of the CGST Rules 2017) sets out what a tax invoice must show. Each item is on the invoice above.

Who it is from. The supplier’s name, address and GST number: GrowMint Media, with my legal name as proprietor. Check the number on the GST portal’s public search.

A number and a date. One unbroken series, QB/2026-27/001 onwards, never reused, and restarting each April.

Who it is to. Your name and address, the country the service goes to, and the place of supply.

What it is for. A description and the service code (SAC 998314), the quantity and the taxable value.

The tax. The rate and the amount. For a client outside India it is zero, under a Letter of Undertaking, and the invoice says so in the words the rule gives.

Reverse charge. Whether Indian GST is payable on reverse charge: no.

A signature. Mine, as proprietor.

Outside India, every invoice is in your own currency, in the amounts fixed in the agreement on the day you signed. In New Zealand and the Gulf, you pay in US dollars by bank transfer or Wise. Clients in India get the same invoice in rupees, with 18% GST added: CGST and SGST at 9% each in Punjab, or IGST at 18% elsewhere in India.
