Billing Software in Manipur for Hardware & Material Shops
Imphal's material dealers work at the end of a long and sometimes interrupted supply line. MaterialBill gives them accurate stock, a clear credit position and billing that keeps working offline.
The material trade in Manipur
Stock planning is the central problem here. Cement, steel and hardware come in by road through Assam and Nagaland, lead times are long and occasionally disrupted, and a shortage cannot be corrected quickly. A dealer who knows exactly what is in the godown and exactly what moved last season orders correctly; one working from memory either runs dry in the busy weeks or ties up capital he needs elsewhere.
The selling side is retail and small-contractor work on credit, and recovery follows the pace of local project payments. Imphal serves as the distribution point for the whole state, with Thoubal, Churachandpur and Bishnupur as district markets. Deliveries to sites outside the valley take time and need a proper record, and inter-state purchases mean IGST on almost every inbound invoice.
Main trade centres
- Imphal Khwairamband and Paona Bazar supply

- Churachandpur regional trade

Where in Manipur it works
MaterialBill is cloud software with an Android app, so it runs anywhere in Manipur with no installation and no local server. A Manipur shop can be billing the same day it calls, because there is nothing to install and nothing to wait for.
Shops also use MaterialBill in Imphal, Thoubal, Churachandpur, Bishnupur, Kakching, Ukhrul, Senapati and Jiribam and the surrounding towns.
GST for a Manipur dealer
| GST state code | 14 — the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in Manipur |
| Department | Manipur Taxes Department |
| Within Manipur | CGST + SGST, applied line by line from each item's own rate |
| Outside Manipur | 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 Manipur CGST and SGST worked out line by line, and IGST substituted the moment the buyer's GSTIN starts with something other than 14. Confirm the current slab with your CA. More on GST billing
