Local terminology:
The challenges of running a retail or hospitality chain in India
GST 2.0 slabs and HSN classification
Since the GST 2.0 rationalisation effective 22 September 2025, the 12% and 28% slabs were collapsed into a primarily two-rate structure of 5% and 18%, with a special 40% band for luxury and sin goods. Every line item still needs the correct HSN/SAC code and rate mapping, and reclassifying thousands of SKUs across hundreds of outlets without errors is a recurring operational burden.
Mandatory IRN e-invoicing (IRP)
B2B invoices must be reported to the Invoice Registration Portal to obtain an IRN and signed QR before they are valid, and the turnover threshold has fallen to Rs 2 crore. Chains with AATO of Rs 10 crore or more must report within 30 days of issuance or the invoice is rejected, blocking the buyer's input tax credit and exposing the chain to penalties.
E-way bills for goods movement
Any consignment above Rs 50,000 needs an e-way bill before dispatch, and intra-state thresholds vary by state from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,00,000. For chains moving stock between a central warehouse and outlets across state lines, generating, extending, and reconciling e-way bills against invoices is a constant compliance touchpoint.
UPI-first, fragmented payments
UPI now drives roughly 85% of digital retail payment volume, spanning multiple apps, RuPay credit-on-UPI, and Bharat QR, alongside cards, wallets like Paytm and PhonePe, and cash. Each rail has its own settlement cycle, MDR rules, and failure modes that must reconcile cleanly at the POS across every location.
State-wise GST registration and aggregator TCS
GST registration is state-specific, so a multi-state chain juggles a separate GSTIN, filings, and place-of-supply logic per state. Orders routed through e-commerce and delivery operators carry TCS deductions, and TDS applies on qualifying contracts, all of which must reconcile back to each state's returns.
Multi-language and regional scripts
Customer-facing receipts, item names, and staff interfaces often need to work across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, and more. A chain operating in several states cannot standardise on a single script, and the POS must render local languages correctly on bills and screens.
How Yakuma solves Indian retail and hospitality challenges
GST 2.0-ready tax engine with HSN mapping
Centralised HSN/SAC catalogue mapped to current 5%, 18%, and 40% slabs, with effective-dated rate changes so a 22 September 2025-style reform is pushed once and applied everywhere. Per-item taxability without per-store reconfiguration.
Native IRN e-invoicing and GSTIN validation
Automatic GSTIN validation, IRP reporting to fetch the IRN and signed QR, and timely submission within the 30-day window. Compliant B2B invoices generated at the point of sale so input tax credit is never blocked.
Integrated e-way bill generation
E-way bills generated and linked to invoices for stock transfers and dispatches above threshold, with state-specific intra-state limits encoded centrally. Movement, extension, and reconciliation tracked against the source document.
Unified UPI, RuPay, card, wallet, and cash handling
Single interface for UPI and Bharat QR, RuPay credit-on-UPI, cards, Paytm and PhonePe wallets, and cash, with automatic reconciliation across rails. Clear settlement tracking and exception handling at every outlet.
Multi-state GSTIN and aggregator reconciliation
Per-state GSTIN, place-of-supply logic, and outlet-to-state mapping handled centrally, with TCS and TDS captured against the right return. Delivery-aggregator orders reconcile back to the correct state ledger automatically.
Multi-language receipts and interfaces
Localised item names, receipts, and operator screens across Hindi and major regional scripts, configured per location. Customers get bills they can read and staff get an interface in their language, without forking the deployment.
