Understanding Your Invoice

Every Domain India invoice follows the same pattern: a proforma invoice asks for payment, and once you pay, a GST tax invoice records the sale. This page walks through what you see on an invoice in the client area, what each status means, and where the GST details are, so you can check a bill before you pay it and file it correctly afterwards.

Key takeaways

Open Billing › Invoices at /client/invoices. An unpaid invoice is a Proforma Invoice (number starting PI-) with a Payment Due banner and a Pay Now button. Once paid it shows Payment Received, gets an INV- number, and a Tax Invoice with its own TAX- number is issued, showing Domain India's GSTIN, your GSTIN if it is on your account, SAC 998315 and 18% GST. Download it with Download Tax Invoice.

For the full guide

The complete explanation of PI-, INV- and TAX- numbers, GSTIN timing and corrections is in Understanding your invoice (PI vs INV). This page is the quick tour of the invoice screen.

1. Where to find your invoices

Sign in and open Billing › Invoices, or go straight to /client/invoices. The list shows each invoice's number, date, due date, amount and status; the tabs at the top filter it. Open any invoice to see the full page. Your payment records are under Billing › Payments at /client/payments.

2. The parts of an invoice

PartWhat it shows
Title and numberProforma Invoice with a PI- number before payment; Tax Invoice with a TAX- number after payment
Proforma RefOn a paid invoice, the original PI- number, kept for reference
DatesWhen the invoice was created and when payment is due
ItemsEach service or domain you are paying for, with its amount
TaxGST at 18%, split by your billing state
TotalsThe taxable value, the GST and the total
Payment bannerPayment Due, Payment Overdue or Payment Received

The PI- and INV- numbers include the calendar year. The TAX- number includes the Indian financial year, which runs from April to March.

3. The GST on your invoice

Prices on our website exclude GST; 18% is added on the invoice. Domain India is registered for GST in Tamil Nadu (GSTIN 33AAFCD9427N1Z9), so the split depends on your billing state:

Your billing stateTax on the invoiceTotal tax
Tamil NaduCGST 9% + SGST 9%18%
Any other Indian state or union territoryIGST 18%18%

The tax invoice also shows the place of supply, SAC code 998315 and your GSTIN if it was on your account when you paid. Customers without a GSTIN still get a tax invoice. Add your GSTIN on your Profile before paying; see Adding GSTIN to your account.

4. What the statuses mean

StatusWhat it meansWhat to do
UnpaidWaiting for payment; the page shows Payment DuePay it before the due date, or leave it if you don't want the service
OverdueThe due date has passed; the page shows Payment OverduePay it if you want to keep the service
PaidPayment received; the tax invoice is availableDownload the tax invoice for your records
Cancelled or VoidThe invoice was withdrawn; nothing is owed on itNothing
RefundedThe payment was refundedKeep the record; ask your CA how to account for it

Domain India never charges a saved card automatically. A renewal happens only when you pay its invoice; renewal invoices are generated up to 30 days before the due date. See How auto-renewal works.

5. Checking an invoice before you pay

  • The amount is higher than the plan price. The website price excludes GST, and the invoice adds 18%. Also check the billing period: a yearly invoice covers the whole year.
  • You don't recognise an item. Renewal invoices list each service that is coming due. Open a ticket before paying if something looks wrong.
  • Your GSTIN or state is wrong. Correct it on your Profile or in billing settings before you pay, because the tax invoice uses the details on your account at the moment of payment.
Paid but still shows Unpaid?

Don't pay a second time. Most Razorpay payments show as Paid within a couple of minutes. If it hasn't changed after you have been charged, open a ticket with the invoice number and your payment reference.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see my Domain India invoices?

Sign in to the client area and open Billing, then Invoices, at /client/invoices. Open any invoice to see its items, GST, totals and status, and to pay or download it.

What does Payment Due mean on my invoice?

The invoice is unpaid and waiting for payment. Use the Pay Now button on the invoice page. If the due date passes, the banner changes to Payment Overdue.

Why is the total higher than the price on the website?

Domain India website prices exclude GST. The invoice adds 18% GST: CGST 9% plus SGST 9% if your billing state is Tamil Nadu, or IGST 18% for any other state.

Which invoice should I give my accountant?

The tax invoice issued after payment, downloaded with the Download Tax Invoice button. It carries Domain India's GSTIN 33AAFCD9427N1Z9, SAC 998315 and your GSTIN if it was on your account.

How do I correct the GSTIN on an invoice that is already paid?

Open a support ticket with the tax invoice number and the correct details. Adding your GSTIN afterwards does not change a tax invoice that has already been issued, so add it before future payments.
