Built for Chennai’s trades
The trades Chennai is known for each have a page of their own, with what TripleBill does for them and what it does not do yet.
- Textile & saree shops: T. Nagar’s saree shops sell high-value stock that must be tracked closely.
- Electronics shops: Ritchie Street sellers track serials and warranty.
- Wholesalers: Sowcarpet traders bill retailers across Tamil Nadu on credit.
- Restaurants: Mess, tiffin centres and restaurants bill fast at the counter.
GST for Tamil Nadu businesses
A GSTIN registered in Tamil Nadu starts with 33. When a shop in Chennai bills a customer in Tamil Nadu, the bill carries CGST and SGST — half the rate each. When it bills a customer in Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh, code 37), the same sale is inter-state and carries IGST at the full rate.
TripleBill works this out from the place of supply on every bill: set your business state once, keep each customer’s state on their record, and CGST + SGST or IGST is applied for you. The same split flows into GSTR-1 (B2B and B2C), GSTR-3B and the HSN summary.
