Billing Software in West Bengal for Hardware & Material Shops
Our Kolkata office covers West Bengal, so setup is free in the city and support runs in Hindi, English and Bengali. From the Burrabazar wholesale market to the steel belt at Durgapur, the trade here is old, dense and credit-heavy.
The material trade in West Bengal
Burrabazar is still the point through which a very large share of eastern India's hardware moves, and the shops there run on volume and on relationships. A wholesaler may bill the same forty parties every week, each on its own credit terms, some settling in fifteen days and some in ninety. Tracking that in a register means you know the total but never the ageing — which of the outstanding is thirty days old and which is a year old. The ageing view is the report Kolkata wholesalers open first.
The Durgapur–Asansol belt is a different business again. Rebar moves by size and by ton, the rate follows the mill, and the buyer is usually a contractor rather than a walk-in. Siliguri, at the other end of the state, is the gateway for Sikkim, Darjeeling and the whole north-east, so material leaves on trucks headed hours into the hills and a delivery record with a vehicle number is the only proof the load ever arrived.

GST for a West Bengal dealer
| GST state code | 19 — the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in West Bengal |
| Department | West Bengal Directorate of Commercial Taxes |
| Within West Bengal | CGST + SGST, applied line by line from each item's own rate |
| Outside West Bengal | 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 West Bengal CGST and SGST worked out line by line, and IGST substituted the moment the buyer's GSTIN starts with something other than 19. Confirm the current slab with your CA. More on GST billing
