Prepare a preliminary document for a customer before the final invoice. Use a reference and revision number to distinguish the PDF you share. This standalone tool does not keep an account, save revisions or record payments.

No account required. Entries stay in this page and are not saved by Lekhiva. Closing or refreshing clears them. Save your PDF before leaving.

Items and estimated amounts

INR only. Unit prices exclude tax. Discount is a fixed amount per line. Choose your own estimated tax rate; this tool does not decide GST treatment or produce CGST/SGST splits.

This prepares a preliminary proforma, not a GST tax invoice, payment receipt or registered e-invoice. Revision numbers are labels only; this tool does not retain earlier versions.

How to create your proforma

  1. Enter your business and customer details, reference and dates.
  2. Add up to 20 items. Enter tax-exclusive unit prices, quantities, fixed line discounts and your selected estimated tax rates.
  3. Preview the amounts and terms. Use Print / save as PDF to keep a copy.
  4. If you edit the document later, update its revision number and save a separate file. Keep the previous PDF yourself.

How amounts are calculated

Each quantity × unit price is rounded to two decimal places, then the fixed line discount is subtracted. Estimated tax is calculated on that net line amount and rounded to two decimals, with half a paise rounded up. The document totals add the rounded lines. This is the tool's estimate convention, not a determination of the tax treatment for your transaction.

Example: one service at ₹25,000, no discount and an illustrative 18% tax rate gives ₹4,500 estimated tax and ₹29,500 total. The tool does not select a rate, verify GST registrations, split CGST/SGST or calculate cess.

Is this a tax invoice?

No. The output is labelled “Proforma invoice”. Use a suitable final invoice process once the transaction and applicable requirements are established. Read quotation vs proforma vs tax invoice and the existing GST invoice guide.

Are my details stored?

This tool does not submit entered details to Lekhiva or store them in browser storage. Refreshing or closing the page clears them. Your browser, device or print destination may retain saved PDFs or autofill information. Analytics is disabled in this page's source; the site host still receives ordinary page requests.
