GST Billing
Dentospire's billing lets an Indian dental clinic raise GST invoices with the CGST and SGST or IGST split worked out from the clinic's and patient's states, record full or part payments, and print or share the bill.
The problem in a real clinic
Bills are written by hand or in a spreadsheet, the GST split is worked out on a calculator, and part payments live in someone's memory. At year end the accountant asks for a sales register that nobody can produce without a weekend of retyping.
How it works
- Create a bill for the patient's treatments and choose the GST rate for each line: 0, 5, 12, 18 or 28 percent.
- Dentospire splits the tax into CGST and SGST when the patient is in your state, or IGST when they are from another state, and records the place of supply.
- Record a payment by cash, UPI, card, bank transfer or insurance; a part payment leaves the bill partly paid with its balance showing.
- Print the invoice, download it as a PDF, or share it to the patient from your own WhatsApp.
- If you prefer, switch on Auto-bill Completed Treatments in Settings so a treatment raises its bill the moment it is marked complete.
What you see on screen
- Each bill's status — pending, partly paid, paid, refunded or waived — and the balance still due.
- The CGST, SGST or IGST amounts and HSN/SAC on the invoice, with your GSTIN.
- The patient's payments against each bill, so the ledger and the bill always agree.
What the patient gets
- A GST invoice with the tax split shown, printed or as a PDF.
- A receipt for every payment, including each part payment.
Safety and control
- New invoices, payments, payment changes and refunds are written to the audit log with who made them, and refused attempts are logged too.
- Cancelled, written-off and refunded bills are kept out of revenue totals, so a bill raised by mistake is not counted as income.
- Auto-billing stays off until a doctor or admin switches it on.
- Sharing a bill on WhatsApp opens your own WhatsApp with the message ready; nothing is sent until you press send.
Good to know
- The CGST/SGST/IGST split, HSN/SAC, GSTIN and place of supply apply to clinics in India. Clinics elsewhere get one tax line under their own tax label, such as VAT.
- The GST rate is your decision for each line; Dentospire applies it but does not give tax advice.
- Your clinic logo on documents is part of custom branding, which needs a paid plan.
- Month-end files for your accountant come from the Tally export and GSTR-1 report.
Frequently asked questions
Does Dentospire split GST into CGST and SGST on dental bills?
Yes, for clinics in India. When the patient is in the same state as the clinic, the tax is split into CGST and SGST; when they are from another state, it is charged as IGST. The place of supply is recorded on the invoice.
Can a patient pay a dental bill in parts in Dentospire?
Yes. Record each payment as it comes in, by cash, UPI, card, bank transfer or insurance. The bill shows as partly paid with its balance until it is cleared, and every payment has its own receipt.
Can Dentospire create the bill automatically when a treatment is completed?
Yes, if you switch it on. Auto-bill Completed Treatments in Settings is off by default, and only a doctor or admin can turn it on. Once on, marking a treatment complete raises its invoice straight away.
Can clinics outside India use Dentospire's billing?
Yes. Clinics outside India get invoices with a single tax line under their own tax label, such as VAT, at the rate they set, without the Indian GST split, HSN/SAC or GSTIN.
