Frequently Asked Questions

Which GST billing software works best with Razorpay in India?

Zoho Books has the most seamless Razorpay integration — payment links are embedded in invoices and when a customer pays, the invoice is automatically marked paid in Zoho Books. Zoho Invoice (free) also supports Razorpay. Tally requires a third-party plugin.

Is e-invoicing mandatory for my Indian business?

E-invoicing is mandatory for businesses with aggregate annual turnover above ₹5 crore (as of 2024). If your B2B invoices exceed ₹10,000 and your turnover is above ₹5 crore, you must generate IRN and QR code for every invoice. Zoho Books handles this automatically.

Can I switch from Tally to Zoho Books for GST filing without losing data?

Yes — we migrate Tally data (opening balances, customer/vendor masters, up to 2 years of history) to Zoho Books. Migration takes 2–5 business days. Post-migration, GSTR filing is automated from Zoho Books.
