What goes on a taxi bill in India?
A taxi bill shows the operator's name and phone, a bill number and date, who is billed, the trip (date, car, pickup and drop), the fare from the operator's rate, the extras (extra km, extra hours, driver allowance, night charge), the toll, parking and permit at actuals, and the total, the advance and the balance. A GST registered operator adds its GSTIN, the SAC code and the GST, and calls it a tax invoice.

Field by field
What goes on a cab bill, and why.
The same fields serve a taxi, a tempo traveller or a car rented with a driver. The trip side comes from the duty slip.
- Your business name, address and phone
- At the top, as on your visiting card. With GST, the legal name and address on your GST registration and your GSTIN.
- Bill number and date
- One number per bill, never reused. For a tax invoice the number is at most 16 characters and runs in order through the financial year, such as SHT/2627/0001.
- Billed to
- The customer's name and phone. For a company, its name and address, and its GSTIN if it wants to claim the GST.
- Trip
- The date, the car type and number, the pickup and the drop, and the duty slip number the bill comes from.
- Fare
- What your rate gives for the trip: the km at your rate a km (with your minimum km a day for outstation), the package for hourly, or the fixed price for an airport run.
- Extras
- Extra km and extra hours over the package, driver allowance a day, night charge a night, waiting.
- Toll, parking and permit
- Paid on the way and billed at actuals, with the receipts kept. On a tax invoice they are commonly shown outside the taxable value.
- GST
- Only if you are registered. CGST and SGST at half the rate each when the customer is in your state, IGST at the full rate when billing a company registered in another state.
- Total, advance and balance
- The total, what the customer already paid, and what is left. The total in words as well.
- Payment details and signature
- Your UPI ID or bank account, and your signature or stamp.
A worked example
The same trip, as a GST tax invoice.
Sharma Travels, a sample operator in Maharashtra, billed their Innova Crysta from Thane West to Shirdi and back at their own rates, with GST at 5% inside the total. The customer is in the same state, so the GST splits into CGST and SGST at 2.5% each. Toll and parking are passed on at actuals, outside the taxable value. This is what Cabaro prints for it.
A sample business with a textbook GSTIN, not a real one.
| 502 km at ₹19 a km | ₹9,538.00 |
| Driver allowance, 1 day at ₹400 | ₹400.00 |
| Toll at actuals | ₹1,240.00 |
| Parking at actuals | ₹100.00 |
| Waiting | ₹300.00 |
| Total | ₹11,578.00 |
|---|---|
| Taxable value | ₹9,750.48 |
| CGST at 2.5% | ₹243.76 |
| SGST at 2.5% | ₹243.76 |
| Toll and parking, outside the taxable value | ₹1,340.00 |

Is this taxi bill format free?
Yes. Print it as often as you like or save it as a PDF from the print window. There is nothing to sign up for.
Can I put GST on my taxi bill if I am not registered?
No. Only a business registered for GST can charge it, and it must show its GSTIN on the bill. If you are not registered, leave the GST lines empty and the bill is a plain bill.
What GST rate goes on a taxi bill?
For a cab with driver where you pay for the fuel, 5% without most input tax credit or 18% with full credit, since 22 Sep 2025. The 12% option ended that day. Our guide to GST on cab services has the detail.
Is there a Word or Excel version?
No. Print this one and fill it in by hand, or save it as a PDF. To have the bill worked out and typed for you, from the driver's km and your own rates, that is what Cabaro does.
Should toll and parking carry GST?
Toll, parking and permit paid on the customer's behalf and billed at actuals are commonly kept out of the taxable value, as the expenses of a pure agent. Keep the receipts. Cabaro's tax invoices show them outside the taxable value. Confirm the treatment with your CA.
Does Cabaro send the invoice to my customer?
No. Cabaro never messages a customer. You or your customer download the invoice as a PDF from the trip, and you send it yourself if you want to.
Inquiries keep coming in while you sleep.
No website needed: your Cabaro link is your website. Customers send trips at midnight; you send the price in the morning, on WhatsApp. Tell us your city and how many cars you run, and we will show you Cabaro on a call.
