Using NShine ERP in India
You will know which settings to create for an Indian transport company: GST rates and RCM, e-way bill fields, TDS reports, the document types permits and licences need, INR and the April to March financial year.
NShine ERP is written for every market, so the India-specific parts are things you set up rather than switches. This page lists them in the order you meet them: tax, bookings, reports, documents, currency and year.
GST Tax Rates And Reverse Charge
- Create your GST slabs under Settings › Tax Rates: GST 0, GST 5, GST 12 and GST 18 are the usual set for transport. Name each with the percentage so staff pick the right one.
- Enter your GSTIN in the TRN field under Settings › Company; it prints on tax invoices.
- Goods transport under reverse charge: tick RCM Applicable on the customer record, and Apply RCM on the Customer Invoice. The tax shows on the invoice but is not added to Amount to Receive, and the Customer TAX Report lists the invoice separately.
- For supplier bills under reverse charge, the same Apply RCM switch is on the Supplier Invoice form.
- HSN or SAC codes are entered as a custom field on the invoice (an HSN Code custom field was seen) and on products under Inventory › Products.
E-Way Bill Fields On Bookings
- Each booking has Eway Bill No and Valid Date fields alongside the Goods Info (Goods Invoice No, Goods Invoice Date, Goods Invoice Value). Fill them when the consignment carries an e-way bill.
- The fields appear as columns in booking reports, so you can list consignments by e-way bill validity.
- Generating the e-way bill itself is done on the government portal; the booking stores the number and validity. See the e-way bill page for the workflow.
TDS Reports
- The Payables TDS Report lists supplier payments on which you deduct tax at source; the Receivables TDS Report lists customer payments where the customer deducted.
- Both are published custom reports under Reports and can be printed or exported to Excel for your return.
Documents To Map
Under Settings › Document Mapping, add the document types Indian fleets must keep, with a Remind Before that allows renewal time. Each then appears on the Documents tab of every vehicle or driver.
Entity | Document types | Suggested Remind Before |
|---|---|---|
Vehicle | Registration, Insurance, Fitness, Pollution (PUC), National Permit, State Permit, Vehicle Tax | 30 to 45 days |
Employee | Driving License, identity documents, Health Insurance | 45 to 60 days for licences |
Customer / Supplier | GST registration certificate, Trade License | 30 days |
Currency, Decimals And Year
- Company Currency INR with No. of Decimal 2; set Round off if your invoices round to the rupee.
- Financial year April to March: under Settings › Financial Year, create 1 April to 31 March with a label such as 2026-27 and Set Active.
- Indian bank details on drivers, suppliers and banks use the IFSC column on the Salary payments register and the Bank Info fields on each record.
Payroll Notes
- Attendance marks LOP (loss of pay) days per employee; the payroll run shows LOP and Net per person.
- Statutory deductions are set up in the salary package under Payroll › People › Set package; confirm the components you need with your accountant.
