Using SmartRaseed

Is SmartRaseed free?

Yes. SmartRaseed is free to download from Google Play and free to use for receipts, GST invoices, bills of supply, credit and debit notes, UPI collection and analytics.

Can I make GST bills with SmartRaseed?

Yes. Add your GSTIN to your business profile and turn on GST tax invoice when you create a bill. The invoice carries everything CGST Rule 46 asks for: your and your customer's GSTIN, a 16-character invoice number in its own series, HSN or SAC, taxable value, CGST and SGST or IGST worked out from the place of supply, the amount in words and your signature.

Composition dealers turn on the composition scheme in their profile and get bills of supply instead.

Does it work in Hindi?

Yes. Every screen of the app is available in Hindi and English, and you can switch any time from your profile.

How do I send a bill to my customer?

Every receipt and invoice is a PDF with your logo and signature. Tap WhatsApp to send it straight to the customer's number, use Share for any other app, or Print.

How does UPI payment work?

Add your UPI ID once. On any bill, tap Collect payment via UPI and the app shows a QR code for the exact amount. The customer scans it with PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM or any UPI app, and the money goes straight to your bank account. SmartRaseed never touches the money and charges nothing for it.

Can I correct a GST invoice after sending it?

GST law doesn't allow editing an issued invoice, so SmartRaseed locks it. To correct it, open the invoice and issue a credit note (to reduce the amount, for example for returned goods) or a debit note (to increase it). If the whole invoice was a mistake, cancel it: it keeps its number and is stamped CANCELLED.

Do I need internet?

Yes. Your bills are saved online as you make them, so they're never lost with a phone and you can find any old bill in seconds.

Can my accountant get my bills?

Yes. Export your receipts and invoices as a CSV file from the History screen and send it to your accountant or CA.

Is my data safe?

Your data travels over an encrypted connection and is stored on our servers. Only you can see your business's bills. You can sign out of all devices from your profile if a phone is lost, and you can delete your account and data at any time.

Is there an iPhone app?

SmartRaseed is available for Android phones on Google Play today.
