Sound familiar?
You raise invoices in Word/Excel and aren't sure they're GST-valid.
Clients deduct TDS and you can't tell if your numbers match Form 26AS.
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B feel like a black box every month.
At year-end you scramble to assemble everything for your CA.
How BillForge handles it
Rule-46-safe invoices
Every field the GST portal checks is guarded or explained inline — gap-free numbering, HSN/SAC, place of supply, reverse charge. The PDF and pay-link are generated for you.
TDS that ties to 26AS
When a client withholds TDS, BillForge records it on the payment and shows the received-plus-TDS split, so your books reconcile against Form 26AS instead of guessing.
GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B, both ready
Both returns are produced exactly the way the portal expects — copy to the portal or export portal-spec JSON. The numbers on screen equal the numbers you file.
Get paid faster
Add a UPI / PayPal / Razorpay pay button to the invoice and the public pay page. Filing reminders for GST/TDS due dates arrive before, not after.
One link for your CA
Create a read-only, PIN-protected CA portal — choose what they see, and they can download your original bank/PayPal statements byte-for-byte.
Free for 3 months, then a free plan
Every organisation gets 3 months free from signup, and the free plan afterwards stays generous. Export everything you've entered any time as one JSON file.

Questions
Do I need a CA to use BillForge?▾
No. BillForge keeps you compliant on your own — and when you do involve a CA, the read-only portal hands them everything in one link.
Does it handle TDS that my clients deduct?▾
Yes. You record the TDS withheld on each payment; BillForge shows the cash-plus-TDS breakdown and keeps your books tying out to zero.
Can I export my data if I leave?▾
Yes — one click gives you a complete JSON of clients, invoices, payments, expenses and your full ledger. Your data is yours.
Do I need to be GST-registered?▾
No. You can raise clean invoices before you register. Once you cross the limit and register, the same invoices feed GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. For services the usual limit is ₹20 lakh of yearly turnover (₹10 lakh in some states); confirm yours with your CA.
What happens when I send a proforma?▾
A proforma is a request for payment that is not yet a tax invoice. When it is fully paid it converts into the tax invoice with the next gap-free number, so you never number an invoice for money you have not received.
Rules and rates change and depend on your situation. This page is general information, not tax advice; your CA should review what you file.
Stay compliant without the busywork
Correct GST + TDS, reconciliation that matches, and a read-only link for your CA — built for the way you actually work.
