Billing Software in Maharashtra for Hardware & Material Shops
Maharashtra runs the country's largest construction market, and its material suppliers work at a speed no register keeps up with. MaterialBill is cloud based, so a supervisor can raise the bill from the site instead of driving back to the shop.
The material trade in Maharashtra
The Mumbai–Thane–Navi Mumbai belt is redevelopment work almost end to end, and the pattern is unusual: the same builder buys from you for years across a dozen different project sites. What the supplier needs is not one ledger per builder but one ledger per builder broken down by site, so a dispute about which tower a load went to can be settled from the record. Site-wise delivery against a single party is built into MaterialBill rather than bolted on.
Inland the trade changes character. Pune supplies the Wagholi, Hinjewadi and Chakan corridors, largely multi-site and largely on credit. Nagpur is a distribution point for Vidarbha, Kolhapur has its foundry trade, and the sugar belt towns swing hard with the season. What holds across all of them is that transport is billed separately from material, and a bill that hides freight inside the rate causes an argument every time. MaterialBill keeps the freight on its own line.

GST for a Maharashtra dealer
| GST state code | 27 — the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in Maharashtra |
| Department | Maharashtra GST Department |
| Within Maharashtra | CGST + SGST, applied line by line from each item's own rate |
| Outside Maharashtra | IGST, switched automatically once the buyer's state is set |
| Common slabs | Cement 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 Maharashtra CGST and SGST worked out line by line, and IGST substituted the moment the buyer's GSTIN starts with something other than 27. Confirm the current slab with your CA. More on GST billing
