Generating GST-compliant invoices and receipts for coaching services.
Stay compliant with Indian tax laws while providing professional, clear documents to parents—automatically.
Since the implementation of GST in India, coaching institutes have specific compliance requirements. Coaching services fall under the 18% GST slab (HSN Code 9992) for most cases, though some exemptions exist for certain educational programs. Generating proper, GST-compliant invoices isn't just about legality—it's about professionalism. Parents appreciate clear, accurate receipts for their records, especially when claiming tax benefits.
CodePex Campus automatically generates GST-compliant invoices and receipts for every fee transaction. Whether it's a lump-sum payment, an EMI installment, or a fee receipt, every document meets CBIC guidelines and includes all mandatory fields. Here's how it works and how to configure it for your institute.

🔄 Common GST Scenarios
Scenario 1: EMI Payments
When parents pay in installments, CodePex generates a tax invoice at the time of each payment. The invoice clearly shows:
- • "Installment 2 of 6" notation
- • Cumulative amount paid till date
- • Tax on the installment amount only
- • Reference to original enrollment
Scenario 2: Mixed Supply (Tuition + Material)
If your fee includes both coaching and study material with different tax rates, CodePex automatically splits the invoice into separate line items with appropriate HSN codes and tax rates.
Scenario 3: Parent Requests B2B Invoice
Some parents (business owners) may need GST invoices for their own input tax credit. CodePex allows capturing parent's GSTIN and business details at enrollment, and generates invoices accordingly with "B2B" marked.
