India's Only Mandi GST Billing Software That Knows Commission ≠ Produce
Every mandi commission agent (arhtiya) has a GST problem that generic accounting software cannot solve: commission income is 18% GST, but fresh agricultural produce is 0% GST — and both happen in the same transaction. Get it wrong, and you're either overpaying tax or under-reporting it. MandiGrow auto-handles this split in every single bill.
The Arhtiya GST Problem — Explained Simply
India's 1.5 crore APMC commission agents face the same unique GST structure. Most use their Tally or paper to handle it wrong. Here is how MandiGrow handles it correctly.
Commission Income — 18% GST (Service)
An arhtiya charges 2–5% of transaction value as commission. This commission is a service fee — it attracts 18% GST under SAC code 997211 (Agricultural support services). MandiGrow generates a Tax Invoice for this amount with 18% GST.
Produce Sale — 0% GST (Fresh Agri)
Fresh fruits, vegetables, grain, and flowers are GST-exempt (HSN Chapters 06–08, 10, 12). When an arhtiya sells produce to a buyer, the produce sale amount attracts 0% GST. MandiGrow generates the correct bill with 0% GST for the produce component.
Complete GST Compliance for Mandi Commission Agents
Auto-Split Commission vs Produce GST
Every MandiGrow bill automatically splits into (a) the produce sale (0% GST) and (b) the commission invoice (18% GST). Your CA sees clean, separated GST data — no manual reconciliation required.
B2B Invoices with Buyer GSTIN
MandiGrow stores each buyer's GSTIN in their party master. B2B commission invoices are generated with buyer GSTIN pre-filled, making GSTR-1 B2B filing accurate and automatic.
GSTR-1 Monthly Data Export
At month-end, MandiGrow compiles all B2B invoice data, B2C totals, and export sales into a GSTR-1 ready report — exactly in the format your CA needs for return filing. No manual data collection from hundreds of paper bills.
Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) Flagging
When an arhtiya buys produce directly from an unregistered farmer for resale, GST RCM may apply. MandiGrow identifies RCM-applicable transactions and generates the self-invoice required for ITC claims — protecting you from accidental non-compliance.
