Stop chasing payments. Stop dreading filing season.
They deduct TDS, they want a GST-correct invoice, and the returns are on you. HourSlip sends the invoice out right, reconciles the TDS against your 26AS, and keeps March from ever ambushing you.

One invoice, five things to get right.
Billing an Indian company isn’t just sending a PDF. The GST has to be correct, the client withholds TDS, and that single invoice has to reconcile across three government systems before the year closes. HourSlip carries it the whole way.
CGST + SGST, or IGST? Decided by where your client sits.
Pick the wrong split and the client’s accounts team bounces the invoice — and your payment slips a fortnight. HourSlip reads place of supply and applies the right treatment every time. No dropdown, no guessing.
Your GSTIN, the SAC code 998314, place of supply and reverse-charge flag land on every invoice — exactly the way a finance team’s books expect them.
The 4-state reconciliation worksheet.
Every deduction you log is checked against the matching 26AS line and sorted into one of four states. You work the board until everything’s green — then the FY total is one you can defend.
Client deposited ₹500 less than they deducted. HourSlip flags it so you chase the deductor — not the refund you’d have lost.
Every invoice files itself into the right return.
GSTR-1 isn’t one list — it’s a dozen tables, and a row in the wrong one is a notice waiting to happen. HourSlip sorts each invoice into its table as it’s raised, so the return is built by the time the filing date arrives.
Advance tax, before the interest bites.
Once your tax for the year after TDS is ₹10,000 or more, most taxpayers pay it as advance tax in four instalments across the year. If you declare presumptive income (44ADA for FY 2025-26; s.58 from tax year 2026-27), the whole amount is due in one instalment by 15 March instead. HourSlip schedules whichever applies from your live estimate and reminds you before each date, so you can pay on time and keep interest under 234B/234C (now ss.424/425 of the Income-tax Act 2025) to a minimum.
Miss an instalment and 234B/C interest accrues at 1% per month on the shortfall. We push a reminder days before each date — so you pay tax, not penalties.
What you keep, known all year — not in March.
Gross billings are a vanity number. After the TDS clients withhold and your advance-tax instalments, your real take-home is what’s left. HourSlip runs old-vs-new regime live — and 44ADA (now s.58(2) Sl. 3) presumptive where you’re an eligible professional — so you set money aside before the demand, not after the 234B/C interest.
Under the 2025 new regime the tax on this income is modest — and here the TDS your clients withhold covers all of it, credited against your bill at ITR with ₹13,600 coming back as a refund. 44ADA can lower it further if you’re an eligible professional.
