GST for West Bengal businesses
A GSTIN registered in West Bengal starts with 19. When a shop in Kolkata bills a customer in West Bengal, the bill carries CGST and SGST — half the rate each. When it bills a customer in Jamshedpur (Jharkhand, code 20), 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.
