# Billing software for electrical shops

BillBabu App makes GST bills for electrical goods shops and wire and cable dealers on your Android phone: wires by the coil or the metre, switches, MCBs and fans with HSN codes, quotations for contractors and what each electrician owes you. Start free, no card needed; unlimited bills need Pro (paid).

## Counter bills and electrician accounts

Your counter sees two kinds of buyers. A walk-in customer wants two switches and a holder. An electrician or electrical contractor takes 10 coils of wire, a box of MCBs and four fans for a job, and pays at the end of the month. BillBabu App makes a GST bill for both on your phone: pick the customer, pick the items, enter the quantities, and the GST, the total and the next bill number fill in. Share the PDF on WhatsApp or any app on your phone.

For an electrician or contractor with a GSTIN, the bill carries it, so they can claim input tax credit. A buyer in your own state pays CGST + SGST; a buyer in another state pays IGST, worked out from the customer's state. See [CGST, SGST and IGST explained](https://billbabu.com/blog/cgst-sgst-igst-explained-india).

If you are an electrician who bills customers for wiring and fitting work, see [billing software for contractors](https://billbabu.com/billing-software-for-contractors).

## Your item list: HSN codes for wires, MCBs, switches and fans

Save each item once with its sale price, unit, HSN code and GST rate; next time you pick it, they fill in. Put the brand and rating in the item name, such as "MCB 32 A SP" or "House wire 1.5 sq mm, 90 m coil", so the bill says exactly what was sold. If you type a new item straight onto a bill, it is saved to your item list for next time.

Units that suit an electrical shop:

- **Wire and cable:** Nos for a full coil (write "90 m coil" in the name), or Mtr for cut lengths.
- **Switches, sockets, MCBs, holders, fans:** Pcs or Nos.
- **Items sold in a carton:** Box, with the count in the name ("box of 10").
- **Conduit pipe:** Mtr, or Pcs for 3 m lengths.

There is no Coil or Roll unit in the item list.

**GST rates.** Insulated wire and cable (HSN 8544), switches, MCBs and other switching and protecting apparatus (8536), fans (8414) and plastic conduit pipes (3917) are all listed at 18% under the rates in force since 22 September 2025. LED products can fall under different headings, such as lamps (8539) or lighting fittings (9405); both headings are listed at 18%, but check your product's HSN code with your CA. Look up codes in the [HSN code finder](https://billbabu.com/tools/hsn-code-finder).

General information, not tax advice; check rates with your CA. Rates as of 28 Oct 2026, from Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate). BillBabu App is a private app by Central Bharat Labs, not affiliated with the Government of India, GSTN or CBIC.

## Quotation for a contractor's material list, then the bill

An electrical contractor wiring a new house sends you a list: wire in three sizes, 40 switches, MCBs, a distribution board and fans. Make a quotation with those items and your rates, add a valid-until date, and share the PDF. When the contractor confirms, turn the quotation into a bill on your phone or in the web app, without typing the items again. A quotation does not touch your stock; the bill does. More on [quotations and estimates](https://billbabu.com/invoice-estimate-software).

## Stock and the Low stock label

Turn on stock for an item and enter what you have. Record your supplier's bill as a purchase and stock goes up; make a sale and it goes down. Edit or delete a bill and the stock is put right. Items with fewer than 10 in stock show a "Low stock" label in your item list, so you see which MCB ratings or wire sizes to reorder. The mark is the same for every unit, so 9 coils and 9 switches both show it; it is a label in the list, not a notification.

## Dues per electrician or contractor

Every party has a ledger: every bill, every payment and what is still due. Add a due date to the bill if you agreed one. When an electrician pays part of the month's dues, record it by cash, UPI, cheque, card or bank transfer, with a reference number and a note, and the balance drops. Share the party's statement as a PDF before you ask for the rest. More on [party ledgers and balances](https://billbabu.com/blog/party-ledger-customer-supplier-balances).

## What BillBabu App doesn't do for electrical shops

- **No discount column.** The electrical trade often bills at "list price less a percentage": enter the net rate on the bill line. See [discounts on a GST invoice](https://billbabu.com/blog/discount-in-gst-invoice).
- **No MRP field and no separate price lists** for electricians and walk-in buyers. Change the rate on the bill line.
- **No serial-number or warranty tracking.** You can type a serial number on the bill line, but the app does not keep or search it.
- **No barcode scanning, and no thermal or POS printer.**
- **No credit notes or sales returns.** See [credit notes and debit notes under GST](https://billbabu.com/blog/credit-note-debit-note-gst-rules-time-limits-reporting) for what your CA may ask for.
- **No Coil or Roll unit** in the item list.
- **No bill of supply.** Every bill is a tax invoice; composition dealers should ask their CA first.
- **No staff logins.** One account per business. See [multi-user billing software](https://billbabu.com/blog/multi-user-billing-software-india).
- **No offline mode, and no iPhone app.**

No offline mode, e-invoice, e-way bill generation, GST return filing, iPhone app, Excel export or staff logins yet.

## Electrical shop bill example

Shiv Electricals, Indore (Madhya Pradesh) bills Patel Electric Works, Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh), whose GSTIN is on the bill. Both are in the same state, so the GST is split into CGST and SGST. The parties and prices are made up.

| Item | HSN | Qty | Unit | Rate | Taxable | GST % | GST | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| House wire 1.5 sq mm, 90 m coil | 8544 | 10 | Nos | ₹1,450 | ₹14,500 | 18% | ₹2,610 | ₹17,110 |
| MCB 32 A, single pole | 8536 | 12 | Pcs | ₹210 | ₹2,520 | 18% | ₹453.60 | ₹2,973.60 |
| Modular switch 6 A | 8536 | 50 | Pcs | ₹38 | ₹1,900 | 18% | ₹342 | ₹2,242 |
| Ceiling fan 1200 mm | 8414 | 4 | Pcs | ₹2,250 | ₹9,000 | 18% | ₹1,620 | ₹10,620 |
| PVC conduit pipe 20 mm | 3917 | 40 | Mtr | ₹80 | ₹3,200 | 18% | ₹576 | ₹3,776 |
| **Total** |   |   |   |   | **₹31,120** |   | **₹5,601.60** | **₹36,721.60** |

GST ₹5,601.60 = CGST ₹2,800.80 + SGST ₹2,800.80. Bill total: **₹36,721.60**.

If Patel Electric Works were in Gujarat, the same 18% would be charged as IGST. This bill is under ₹50,000, so the e-way bill question generally doesn't arise; for bigger loads see [e-way bill limits](https://billbabu.com/blog/eway-bill-rules-thresholds-distance-validity-2026).

## FAQ

**Is there free billing software for an electrical shop, or a free download?**

BillBabu App is free to install from Google Play, and you can start free with no card: your first 5 invoices and 5 quotations cost nothing. Unlimited bills need Pro, which is paid. There is no Windows download; on a computer you use the web app.

**Which is the best billing software for an electrical shop?**

Choose by what your shop does every day. Can it bill wire by the coil and by the metre? Does it keep each electrician's dues and share a statement? Does it make quotations that become bills? Do you need barcode scanning or a counter printer? BillBabu App does the first three, not the last. Try a week of real bills in the free start before you pay.

**Which is the cheapest billing app for an electrical shop?**

It depends on how many bills you make, and some apps have free plans, so compare current price pages. BillBabu App has no free-forever plan: after 5 free invoices and 5 free quotations, Pro is ₹99 a month or ₹999 a year. Other apps' prices: [billing software prices in India](https://billbabu.com/billing-software-price-india).

**What is the GST rate on wires, switches and fans?**

18% for wires and cables (8544), switches and MCBs (8536) and fans (8414), under the rates in force since 22 September 2025. Check each product's HSN code; general information, not tax advice.

**Can I bill wire by the metre?**

Yes. Use the unit Mtr for cut lengths, or Nos for a full coil with the length in the item name.

**Can I show a discount on the list price?**

Not yet. There is no discount column, so enter the net rate after the discount on the bill line.

**Can I record serial numbers for warranty?**

You can type the serial number on the bill line: pick the item from your list, then add the serial number to that line's description so it appears on the bill. The app does not keep a list of serial numbers or track warranty.

**What should an electrical shop GST bill show?**

Your name, address and GSTIN; the buyer's name and, for a business buyer, their GSTIN; the bill number and date; each item with its HSN code, quantity, unit, rate and taxable value; the GST rate and amount (CGST + SGST, or IGST); the place of supply; and the total. BillBabu App fills these in from your business details and your item list. See the [GST bill format](https://billbabu.com/formats/gst-bill-format). General information, not tax advice.

**Can I use it on a computer?**

Yes. Open app.billbabu.com and log in with the same mobile number. On the computer you make bills and quotations and manage parties, items and purchases; bill PDFs, payments and reports are in the Android app.
