GST billing & accounting software in West Bengal
Yes — LekhaPro runs GST billing and posted double-entry accounting for businesses across West Bengal, whose GSTINs all begin with state code 19. Supplies inside West Bengal split to CGST + SGST; anything crossing the border becomes IGST. Run it offline on Windows, or from a browser.
West Bengal at a glance — what changes by state
Most of what differs between one Indian state and another in business software is set at state level, not city level. These are the West Bengal values that change how the software behaves or what you have to file. Where a figure is set by notification and we have not verified the current one, the row says so rather than printing a number that may have moved.

LekhaPro reads the GST state code and resolves tax automatically. The remaining rows are context for your compliance calendar — the software does not file them for you, and there is no payroll module, so professional tax in particular is yours or your CA's to handle.
How tax resolves on a West Bengal invoice
- 1.Your GSTIN begins 19. So does every other West Bengal registration.
- 2.Buyer's GSTIN also starts 19 → the supply is intra-state → CGST + SGST, split evenly.
- 3.Buyer's GSTIN starts with any other code → inter-state → IGST at the full rate.
- 4.Unregistered buyer → place of supply falls back to the delivery address, and the same test applies to that address's state.
- 5.The GST error catcher flags any invoice billed under the wrong head before it reaches GSTR-1.
You never pick the head manually — it is derived. That matters most for a West Bengal business selling across the border regularly, where a mis-keyed head is the single most common reason a return has to be amended.

What it does not do — in West Bengal or anywhere
- · No payroll, attendance or HR — so no professional tax computation and no Form 24Q, in West Bengal or any other state.
- · No automated Tally import yet. Masters and opening balances are brought across for a clean start on a date you choose.
- · No native mobile app. The Cloud edition runs in a mobile browser; the Desktop edition is Windows only.
- · We do not file for you. Returns and e-way bills are prepared from your books; submission stays with you or your CA.
- · No office in West Bengal — support is email and WhatsApp from an India-based team, with no local branch or reseller.
Two ways to run it: the Desktop edition (offline, or LAN multi-counter) or the Cloud edition (any browser). Plans and GST-inclusive totals are on pricing; the terms used above are defined in the place of supply and e-way bill glossary entries.
Questions West Bengal businesses ask
Does LekhaPro work for businesses registered in West Bengal?
Yes. LekhaPro is India-wide GST accounting and billing software, and West Bengal businesses run it with no state-specific setup beyond your own GSTIN and company details. Every GSTIN issued in West Bengal begins with state code 19, and the software reads that code to decide how each invoice is taxed.
What is the GST state code for West Bengal?
19. It is the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in West Bengal, so a registration there reads 19XXXXXXXXXXXZX. LekhaPro uses it to resolve place of supply on every invoice you raise.
When does a West Bengal business charge CGST + SGST instead of IGST?
Charge CGST + SGST when the place of supply is inside West Bengal — both GSTINs start with 19 — and IGST when the buyer is in any other state. LekhaPro derives this from the two GSTINs rather than asking you to pick, and the GST error catcher flags any invoice billed under the wrong head before it is filed.
Can I file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for a West Bengal GSTIN?
Yes. Both returns, plus GSTR-2B reconciliation, are generated from your own posted books for any GSTIN including a 19 one. LekhaPro prepares the return and surfaces mismatches before submission; filing on the GST portal stays with you or your CA.
What is the e-way bill threshold for moving goods within West Bengal?
₹50,000 (movement for job work exempt) for an intra-state movement in West Bengal, per Ntf No. 02/2026-C.T./GST dt 22.05.2026 · comtax.wb.gov.in (checked 2026-08-05). Inter-state movements follow the national ₹50,000 rule. LekhaPro generates the e-way bill JSON either way, and confirm the current figure against your state notification before relying on it.
Does professional tax apply in West Bengal?
Levied — West Bengal State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1979 — per WB PT Act 1979 · finance.wb.gov.in, checked 2026-08-05. Note that LekhaPro does not compute or file professional tax: there is no payroll module in the product at all, so this is context for your compliance calendar rather than something the software handles.
Which West Bengal cities do you have pages for?
Kolkata, Siliguri. The software is identical across them; the city pages exist because local trade differs, not because the product does. Nothing is city-locked and there is no separate West Bengal edition.
Do you have an office or a reseller in West Bengal?
No. LekhaPro is sold and supported online across India, with email and WhatsApp support from an India-based team — there is no West Bengal branch, no local partner and no on-site visit. If a local physical presence is a requirement for you, that is a fair reason to choose someone else.
We have branches inside and outside West Bengal — does that work?
Yes. Several companies and GSTINs live under one login with separate books, and a stock or service movement from West Bengal (code 19) to another state is treated as the IGST transaction it legally is rather than an internal transfer. Roles decide who sees which company.
Does LekhaPro handle West Bengal RERA reporting?
The Real Estate module tracks bookings, instalments and collections against projects registered with WBRERA (rera.wb.gov.in) (rera.wb.gov.in, checked 2026-08-05). It does not submit to the authority for you — it produces the project and collection figures the filing is built from.
