GST for businesses in Lucknow
- State / UT
- Uttar Pradesh
- GST state code
- 09 (first two digits of a Uttar Pradesh GSTIN)
A sale from Lucknow to a customer within Uttar Pradesh is an intra-state supply, so you charge CGST + SGST. Selling to a customer in another state is an inter-state supply, so you charge IGST. The total tax is the same — only the split differs. ईnvocify applies the right split automatically from the place of supply. Learn how the GST split works.
The same invoice, billed two ways from Lucknow
Take a ₹50,000 invoice at an 18% GST rate. The rate is an example — yours depends on what you sell — but the split works the same way at any rate.
Within Uttar Pradesh
Intra-state supply
- CGST @ 9%
- ₹4,500
- SGST @ 9%
- ₹4,500

- ₹59,000
To Delhi
Inter-state supply
- IGST @ 18%
- ₹9,000

- Invoice total
- ₹59,000
You collect ₹9,000 either way. What changes is which government receives it and which boxes it lands in on your GSTR-1 — which is why getting the place of supply wrong is a filing problem rather than a pricing one. Businesses in Lucknow commonly bill into Delhi, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, so both cases come up in the same week. Verify any rule against the official GST portal.
What businesses in Lucknow are usually invoicing for
Lucknow is known for food processing, handicrafts and professional services.
Lucknow's food processing and handicraft units often sell through distributors, so the invoice trail has to survive a second sale further down the chain. Credit notes for returns are an ordinary part of the month here rather than an exception to handle.

GST invoicing in Lucknow: FAQ
My distributor resells what I invoice them. Does that affect my invoice?
Not directly — you invoice the distributor, they invoice their buyer. What it does affect is returns: goods can come back after a second sale has already happened, so credit notes referencing your original invoice become a routine part of the month.
Do food products need anything specific on the invoice?
GST asks for HSN, rate and the usual mandatory fields. Beyond that, buyers commonly need batch and shelf-life details, and getting those onto the invoice avoids a second document travelling alongside it.
Do I charge CGST + SGST or IGST for a sale within Lucknow?
For a sale where both you and your customer are in Uttar Pradesh (an intra-state supply), you charge CGST + SGST. When you supply to a customer in another state, you charge IGST instead. The total GST rate is the same either way — only the split changes. ईnvocify applies the correct split automatically based on the place of supply.
What is the GST state code for Uttar Pradesh?
The GST state code for Uttar Pradesh is 09 — it's the first two digits of every GSTIN registered in the state. ईnvocify reads the state code from your and your customer's GSTIN to decide the correct tax treatment.
Can I generate e-invoices (IRN) and e-way bills in Lucknow?
Yes. E-invoicing (IRN) and e-way bills run through central government systems and apply the same way across India. ईnvocify generates both in-app when they apply to your supply.
Is there a free trial for businesses in Lucknow?
Yes. ईnvocify offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, so any business in Lucknow can try GST invoicing, reminders, and reports before paying.
