For shops that sell sizes
Know which sizes are left. Without walking to the rack.
Billing, stock and GST for clothing, bag and footwear shops. Runs on your shop's PC. Keeps billing when the internet doesn't.
And when you give a discount, the tax rate follows the law — see that for yourself.
- Bills with the internet down
- Tax invoice or Bill of Supply
- Monthly or yearly — your choice
- Priority support through your season

What it does
Four things worth checking before you buy anything.
Bazira is not trying to be your accountant. It is trying to be the best counter in a shop where every style arrives in six sizes and five colours, in polythene, with no barcode on it. Some of this you will find elsewhere. The last one you will not — ask whoever is selling to you to demonstrate it.
01
Size × colour, in one grid
Enter a style once. Sizes across, colours down, stock in the cells. Scan any piece at the counter and the whole grid comes up — so "do you have this in L?" is answered from the screen, not by searching the rack.
Without it: you create Jacket-Navy-M, then Jacket-Navy-L, thirty more times, for every purchase entry and every stock take. That is the data-entry cost that quietly turns an apparel system into "Jacket — 1 pc" by the second season. Cheaper billing apps have no answer to it at all.
| Woollen jacket — fur collar · Charcoal | In stock | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Size L scanned | 7 | 2,999 |
| Size M | 9 | 2,999 |
| Size XL | 6 | 2,999 |
| Size XXL | 1 | 2,999 |
| Size 3XL | Nil | 2,999 |
02
Barcode labels, printed at goods-inward
Stock arrives wrapped and untagged. Enter the purchase as a matrix and Bazira prints the whole consignment's labels in one batch — size, colour, MRP, HSN and your shop's name — straight onto a thermal roll. Footwear gets a box label, because a shoe is managed by its box.
Why it matters: if tagging is a separate chore, it does not happen, and nothing after it works — not scanning, not stock, not sell-through.
03
Sell-through by size — the reorder decision
Eighteen of twenty gone in M and L by week three; one of twelve in 3XL. That is the whole reorder and markdown conversation, and it only exists if the numbers stay at size level.
Worth checking: many systems report "fast and slow movers" or stock that has aged 90 days. That is not the same thing. Ask to see sold-versus-received by size, for one style, this season — that is the number you reorder on. On a ten-week winter peak, a wrong size curve is the expensive mistake.
04
GST that survives a discount
Knitted garments are 5% up to ₹2,500 a piece and 18% above it. The test is per piece, on the price actually charged — so a discount can move a line from 18% to 5%, and the bill has to follow. Leather sits in a different chapter and stays at 18% at any price.
What others do: attach one tax rate to the style and let every size and colour inherit it. Read their own feature lists — "GST rate assignment inherited across all matrix variants" is the usual wording. It is wrong the moment a ₹2,999 jacket goes out at 25% off, and wrong in the direction that over-charges your customer and over-pays your tax. Make anyone selling you software show you this one.
| Item | Qty | Rate | Disc | GST | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal set — Men Navy · L · 8901234500127 |
1 | 899 | — | 5% | 899 |
| Woollen jacket — fur collar Charcoal · XL · 8901234503318 |
1 | 2,999 | 25% | 5% | 2,249 |
| Leather biker jacket Black · M · 8901234507742 |
1 | 8,499 | — | 18% | 8,499 |
| Rate | Taxable | CGST | SGST |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5% | 2,998.10 | 74.95 | 74.95 |
| 18% | 7,202.54 | 648.23 | 648.23 |
| Total | 10,200.64 | 723.18 | 723.18 |
The ₹2,500 rule
Move the discount. Watch the rate change.
This is the calculation inside Bazira, running here on this page. Set a knitwear price above ₹2,500, then discount it — and see the slab flip, the way the law says it should.
On the tag, GST included: ₹3,372
Prices on the tag are GST-inclusive, the way a price tag is read. Bazira stores the tax-exclusive base underneath — store the inclusive figure instead and the slab test at the boundary has no fixed point: ₹2,700 → ₹2,571 at 5% → over the line → 18% → ₹2,288 → under the line → 5% → …
Composition and regular
If you are on the composition scheme, you cannot issue a tax invoice. Bazira knows the difference.
Most billing software assumes you collect GST from your customer. A composition dealer does not — and handing him tax-invoice software means handing him a bill he is not allowed to issue.
Composition Bill of Supply
- Bill of Supply, never a tax invoice
- No tax collected from the customer — no CGST or SGST line on the bill
- The declaration printed where it must be: "Composition taxable person, not eligible to collect tax on supplies"
- Turnover tracked for CMP-08 each quarter and GSTR-4 each year
- A watch on the ₹1.5 crore line, so the threshold does not arrive as a surprise
Regular Tax invoice
- Full tax invoice — GSTIN, HSN per line, place of supply, rate-wise summary, amount in words, round-off
- CGST + SGST, per-piece slab after line discount
- Buyer's name and address demanded automatically above ₹50,000
- GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B figures, with the HSN summary in Table 12 shape
- Credit notes that link back to the original bill
The regime is a setting with a date on it. Cross the threshold and you change it; bills already issued keep the form they were issued in, and nothing has to be migrated or re-bought. Growing out of composition should not mean growing out of your billing software.
How it runs
The shop's PC is in charge. The cloud is for sleeping well.
A counter that stops because the broadband stopped is not a counter. Bazira keeps the real database on the machine in the shop, and uses the internet only for the things that can wait.
Windows PC. The real database lives here, with the thermal printer, the label printer, the scanner and the cash drawer plugged straight into it. Bills are made here whether or not anything else in the world is working.
Nightly snapshot to the disk, a copy to a pen drive, and an encrypted copy off-site. One click to back up, one click to restore onto a new PC — and we will show you the restore working before you pay the balance.
Today's collection, what is selling, what is finished. Read-only, so a tired thumb cannot change a bill.
The bill amount goes to the card machine itself — nobody re-keys it. Cash and card on one bill works. Your UPI QR carries the exact amount.
The rule: nothing in the cloud is ever in the way of making a bill.
When the internet stops
The broadband goes down. The counter does not.
A queue does not care why the counter stopped. Bazira keeps the real database on the machine in front of you, so an outage is an inconvenience somewhere else in the shop — not the end of trading. Press the button and see exactly what changes.

Why it is built this way
The cloud is never in the path of making a bill
Plenty of billing software is a web page. That is cheaper to build and it fails in exactly the wrong moment — the busiest hour of the busiest day, when the line outside is longest and the connection is worst.
Bazira runs on the shop's own machine and owns its own data. The link is used for things that can wait a few hours: the off-site backup, the owner's phone view, the card terminal's reply. When it comes back, everything catches up by itself. Nobody re-types a bill.
Worth asking any vendor: "Show me the software billing with the internet unplugged." It is a thirty-second test and it cannot be faked.
What you need to run it
A Windows PC and three pieces of hardware.
No server, no rack, nothing in a cupboard with a fan. If you already own some of this, it very likely works — send us the models and we will tell you before you spend anything.
Windows 10 or 11. An ordinary shop desktop or laptop is plenty — the database is a single file and the work is small.
58mm or 80mm, USB. The common ESC/POS models are supported.
Already have one? Probably fine.Any USB scanner that types what it reads. Nothing special, nothing proprietary.
Already have one? Almost certainly fine.A TSPL label printer for tagging goods as they come in. One for the whole shop, not one per counter — labels are printed in a batch at goods-inward, not at the counter.
A cash drawer and a UPS are worth having and neither is required to start. We quote hardware separately, at cost plus a stated margin, and we will say so plainly when you do not need something.
The season promise
No updates to your counter during the season. In writing.
From 1 November to 15 January the code on your machine does not change. No update, no "quick fix", no surprise on the busiest Saturday of the year. Support in that window goes to the front of the queue, not into it.
No off-the-shelf vendor will put that in a contract. It is the most valuable line in ours.
Frozen: 1 Nov – 15 Jan. Statutory changes — another GST re-slabbing, say — are handled before the window opens, or immediately after it closes.

Other products' figures are their own published prices, read in November 2026, exclusive of GST where they state it. The last column is the one to check for yourself — ask any vendor to discount a ₹2,999 knitted jacket by 25% and show you the tax rate on the line.
Questions
The ones shopkeepers actually ask.
What happens if that PC dies in December?
You restore onto another Windows machine and keep billing. The database is a single file — it is snapshotted nightly to the disk, copied to a pen drive, and if you take Bazira Cloud, encrypted and sent off-site. We test the restore in front of you during installation, because a restore you have watched is worth more than a promise you have read.
Will it work without internet?
Yes, completely. Billing, stock, labels, returns, day close and GST reports are all local. The internet is only needed for off-site backup, the phone dashboard and the card machine's reply. When the link drops the counter shows it and carries on; when the link returns, everything catches up on its own.
I am on the composition scheme. Can I use this?
Yes — and that is unusual, so it is worth saying plainly. Bazira issues a Bill of Supply with the required declaration, collects no tax from your customer, and tracks your turnover for CMP-08 and GSTR-4. If you cross the ₹1.5 crore line and move to the regular scheme, you change one setting with a date on it and your old bills stay exactly as they were issued.
Do I have to tag every piece myself?
You print the labels in a batch when the consignment is entered, not piece by piece later. Enter the purchase as a size × colour grid, and the labels for the whole lot come off the roll with size, colour, MRP and HSN on them. Shoes get a box label. If your supplier already sends barcoded goods, Bazira uses their barcode instead.
Is the price really the price?
Yes, and it is per counter, not per bill and not per user. You choose monthly or yearly — yearly is billed once, monthly can be stopped at the end of any month. Hardware is separate and quoted at cost plus a stated margin. There is no charge for the number of bills you cut, no charge for your staff logging in, and no charge for the GST engine: every plan gets the per-piece slab and both tax regimes, because that is the reason to choose Bazira in the first place.
Can my CA still get what he needs?
Yes. Rate-wise and HSN-wise summaries in the shape GSTR-1 Table 12 expects, plus exports he can take into his own software. Your 8-digit HSN codes get checked against the portal's list during setup, because that is where returns usually get rejected.
What if I have two counters?
The second counter connects to the first over the shop's own network and shares the same stock and the same bill series. One machine stays in charge of the data, which is why two counters cannot produce two versions of the truth. Each counter is its own subscription — you are not paying for a counter you do not have, and you can add one for the season and drop it after.
See it running on your own stock.
We will load a few of your own styles, print a label, bill a piece and take it back on an exchange — about twenty minutes, on your screen or in your shop. If it is not better than what you do now, say so and that is the end of it.
