GST Invoice Format for Textiles & Garments
Fabrics at 5%, apparel by value band — the textile trade's invoice done right.
Textile invoices juggle the trade's special rate structure: most fabrics at 5%, and garments taxed by value band. Wholesale cloth merchants also deal in metres, thaans, and assortments, so unit-of-measure clarity on the invoice matters as much as the rate.
What this invoice format must include
Value-band apparel rates
Garments are at the concessional rate up to the notified per-piece value threshold and taxed higher above it — the invoice must apply the band per item, not per bill.
Clear units of measure
Metres for fabric, pieces for garments, sets for suits — GST returns carry a UQC (unit quantity code) per line, so bill in consistent units.
Job-work flows need separate documents
Sending fabric for dyeing or stitching is job work (SAC 9988 group, mostly 5%) — bill the service separately from goods sales.
HSN by fibre and construction
Cotton fabrics under chapter 52, knitted garments 61, woven garments 62 — the fibre and make decide the code.
