What a homestay GST invoice looks like on BitLegacy

You fill in your GSTIN and PAN once; every stay after that is billed from those details.

1. What the invoice shows

Add your GSTIN and PAN under Settings (your Homestay Info tab), then switch GST registered on under Settings → Taxes. Each stay invoice then prints your property name and GSTIN, the guest’s GSTIN if you record it, SAC 996311 on the room line, the room charge, CGST and SGST shown as separate lines, and the total. If you add your logo, it prints on the invoice too.

2. The GST rate on room tariffs

BitLegacy applies the slabs set out in GST Notification 15/2025-Central Tax (Rate): up to ₹7,500 per room per night is 5%, above ₹7,500 is 18%. See the full breakdown on Hotel GST in India (2026). Rules change — confirm with your CA.

3. Not GST registered? No GST lines

Leave GST registered off and no GST is calculated or shown. BitLegacy titles the document correctly either way: an issued, GST-applicable stay prints as a Tax Invoice, an issued stay with GST off prints as a Bill of Supply, and anything still awaiting payment prints as a Proforma Invoice.

4. Bookings — Stay Requests

Guests send a Stay Request from your website. You confirm it, assign rooms and take payment; the stay moves through confirmed, paid, arrived and completed. Homestay SKU from ₹1,000/month, or the hotel Starter ladder from ₹299/month for 2 rooms up to ₹899/month for 8.

5. Direct booking website

Every paid Homestay account gets a guest website where guests see your rooms and send a Stay Request — BitLegacy does not take a cut of stays booked there. custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month (included in Business).

6. WhatsApp and the folio

Manual WhatsApp Notify opens your own WhatsApp with a ready message when you confirm a stay, receive a payment, mark arrival or end the stay — you check it and tap Send. Once the stay is paid, the guest’s page shows a View folio / invoice button; there is no separate one-tap "send invoice PDF" button, and Notify is not a WhatsApp Business API inbox or bulk-message tool.

7. OTA Channel Manager

On the Homestay plan, the Channel Manager that syncs rates and availability with OTAs is a separate add-on — confirm the current price on the pricing page. It is included on the Farmhouse / Villa plan at ₹650/month.

Is it a fit?

Owner-managed homestay that sells by the room, or a farmhouse / villa that guests book whole
Want a GST tax invoice with your GSTIN for each stay, or a Bill of Supply while you are not registered
Want your own booking site and want to message guests from the WhatsApp number you already use
Not for software that files GSTR returns or generates e-invoices (IRN) — BitLegacy prepares the invoice, it is not your CA
Not for automated WhatsApp Business API messaging or bulk campaigns on the Homestay plan

Frequently asked questions

Can BitLegacy print my GSTIN on homestay invoices?

Yes. Add your GSTIN under Settings (Homestay Info) and switch GST registered on under Settings → Taxes. Each stay invoice then shows your GSTIN, SAC 996311, and CGST + SGST shown separately, and you can download it as a PDF or print it.

What GST rate applies to homestay room rent?

Under GST Notification 15/2025-Central Tax (Rate), rooms up to ₹7,500 per night are 5% and rooms above ₹7,500 are 18%. See Hotel GST in India (2026) for the full picture. Rules change, so check with your CA.

My homestay is not registered for GST. Can I still use BitLegacy?

Yes. Leave GST registered off and no GST is calculated on your stays; the invoice prints as a Bill of Supply instead of a Tax Invoice. Check the registration threshold and your obligations with your CA.

Can I send the invoice to the guest on WhatsApp?

Not as a one-tap PDF share. You can download the invoice PDF and send it yourself, or use Manual WhatsApp Notify — once the stay is paid, the guest’s page has a View folio / invoice button.

Is the OTA Channel Manager included on the Homestay plan?

No. On the Homestay plan (₹1,000/month) the Channel Manager is a separate add-on; it is included on the Farmhouse / Villa plan (₹650/month). Check current prices on the pricing page.
