Billing Software in Chhattisgarh for Hardware & Material Shops

Raipur has one of the country's densest concentrations of rolling mills and sponge iron units, and the rebar trade around it is enormous. MaterialBill was built for exactly this kind of weight-and-rate business.

The material trade in Chhattisgarh

The Raipur–Bhilai belt is where a very large share of central India's TMT and structural steel is made and traded. A dealer here is quoting a per-kilo rate that moved this morning, selling in tons, holding stock across a dozen sizes and despatching by the truckload. Everything about that business is arithmetic, and everything about a paper bill book is a chance to get the arithmetic wrong in the customer's favour.

Beyond steel, Raipur is the distribution point for the whole state, and Bilaspur, Durg, Korba and Raigarh are regional markets serving industrial and mining catchments. Deliveries run long distances on hired trucks, so the freight has to be billed separately and the challan has to name the vehicle. Credit runs long here too, tied to contractor payments from plant and government work that are rarely quick.

GST for a Chhattisgarh dealer

GST state code22 — the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in Chhattisgarh
DepartmentChhattisgarh Commercial Tax Department
Within ChhattisgarhCGST + SGST, applied line by line from each item's own rate
Outside ChhattisgarhIGST, switched automatically once the buyer's state is set
Common slabsCement 28% · TMT steel and most hardware 18% · sand and aggregate 5%

MaterialBill keeps the GST rate on the item rather than on the bill, so a single invoice can carry cement at 28% and steel at 18% with Chhattisgarh CGST and SGST worked out line by line, and IGST substituted the moment the buyer's GSTIN starts with something other than 22. Confirm the current slab with your CA. More on GST billing

Frequently asked questions

Can I bill in tons but stock in kilos?
Yes. The item holds the conversion, so you can buy and stock in one unit and sell in another with the software keeping both correct.
Is the freight shown separately from material?
Yes — vehicle, driver and freight charge go on their own lines on the invoice and the challan, so the customer can see what is material and what is delivery.
Can I check stock and dues from my phone?
Yes. The Android app shows live stock, party dues and the day's billing, and works offline through a power cut.
What does it cost in Chhattisgarh?
The same as everywhere else — a shop in Chhattisgarh pays what a shop in any other state pays, because there is no state pricing. Billing, the credit ledger and stock are on the free plan with no card; the paid plans lift the limits. See pricing
