    Legal billing software with GST invoices for Indian law firms

    Settl keeps billing next to the work it bills for. Time is logged against the matter, the invoice is raised from the same record with the tax details an Indian client expects, and payments are tracked until the balance is cleared.

    What the legal billing with gst does

    Time tracking on the matter

    Log billable time against a case as the work is done, so that the invoice is built from a record and not from memory at the end of the month.

    GST-compliant invoices

    Raise invoices that carry your firm's GST profile and the place of supply, with the amount in words.

    Reverse charge and TDS

    Mark an invoice where GST is payable by the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism, and record the TDS rate the client will deduct.

    Payment tracking

    Record each payment with its mode and reference number, see the payment history on the invoice, and monitor outstanding balances across clients.

    Invoices linked to cases

    Link an invoice to the case it relates to, so fees and work are seen together.

    Trust accounts

    Keep a ledger of client money held by the firm, separate from fee income and visible only inside the firm workspace.

    How it works

    1. Set up the firm's GST profile

      Enter the firm's GST details once.

    2. Log time as you work

      Record time entries against the matter.

    3. Raise the invoice

      Create the invoice, choose the place of supply and tax treatment, and send it.

    4. Record payments

      Enter receipts as they arrive and follow up on what is outstanding.

    Plans and limits

    Time tracking and billing are part of the Professional plan. Settl helps you prepare invoices; whether GST is payable on a forward or reverse charge basis for a particular client, and at what rate, is a tax question to confirm with your accountant.

    Legal billing with GST: common questions

    Is GST on legal services paid under reverse charge?

    For many legal services supplied by an individual advocate or a firm of advocates to a business entity, GST is payable by the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism, and Settl lets you mark an invoice accordingly. The treatment depends on who the supplier and recipient are, so confirm your position with your accountant.

    Which plan includes billing?

    Time tracking and billing are included in the Professional plan and above. See the pricing page for the current plan features.

    Can clients see their invoices?

    Internal notes, tasks and billing stay within the firm workspace. Clients see only what you choose to share through the client portal.
