Send GST invoices. Get paid faster.
Studio Mithra turns every booking into a clean GST invoice, tracks who owes what, and lets clients pay online — so you stop chasing money and start collecting it.
No credit card required · Built for Indian photographers
Photography invoicing in India is rarely a simple “send a bill.” Studios collect a booking advance on UPI, a mid payment before the event, and a balance near delivery — often across wedding packages that span months. When you are GST-registered, clients and corporate accounts expect a proper tax invoice with your GSTIN and clear tax breakup, not a handwritten note or a messy Excel export.
Generic accounting tools can produce invoices but they do not know which shoot the money belongs to. Spreadsheets fail when peak season multiplies open balances. Awkward WhatsApp reminders (“sir, balance pending”) feel unprofessional and get ignored. The result is cash-flow fog: busy calendar, thin bank balance.
Studio Mithra ties invoicing to the booking. Generate GST-ready invoices from the package you already sold, track advances and balances against each job, log UPI and bank advances against each booking when clients prefer a link, and still log offline UPI or bank transfers so totals stay true. Whether you shoot weddings, events, or portraits, the money trail sits next to the client record.
You do not need to be GST-registered to start — issue professional invoices either way and turn on tax fields when you register. Confirm rates, SAC codes, and filing with your CA; Studio Mithra is the studio ops layer that keeps client billing clean day to day.
Fair comparison for Indian studios: multi-event weddings, GST-ready invoices, UPI-era payment logging, INR pricing, and team ops. “Global CRM” = typical overseas client-flow tools (availability and features vary by product and plan). Studio Mithra claims reflect shipped product — payment logging, not always client-side gateway checkout on every proposal.
| Invoicing Requirement | Studio Mithra GST Invoicing | Generic Accounting / Tally |
|---|---|---|
| Photography SAC 998383 compliance | Built-in SAC 998383 with 18% CGST/SGST/IGST tax breakdowns | Requires manual chart of accounts and tax ledger configuration |
| Booking & milestone advance linking | Connected directly to client proposals and partial advance payments | Isolated accounting vouchers with no shoot date or ceremony context |
| Shareable mobile payment receipt | Branded digital receipt link sent directly to client on WhatsApp | Clunky PDF or printed ledger printout difficult to share on mobile |
| Client GSTIN & B2B/B2C handling | Clean B2B corporate GSTIN fields and clean B2C retail wedding receipts | Complex accounting terminology that confuses studio assistants |
| Studio crew & project context | Invoice shows event dates, venue location, and package scope | Strictly financial voucher with zero wedding/shoot details |

Are the invoices GST-compliant?
Yes. Invoices include your business name, GSTIN, SAC code, and tax breakup, so they’re ready to hand to clients and your accountant.
How do clients pay?
Clients pay via UPI, bank transfer, cash, or card using your usual methods; you record each payment against the booking.
Can I track advances and balances?
Yes — set a payment schedule per booking and Studio Mithra tracks advance, partial, and final payments with overdue alerts.
Do I need to be GST-registered?
No. GST is optional — if you’re registered, turn it on and invoices become tax invoices; if not, you still get clean, professional invoices.
Does Studio Mithra file my GSTR returns?
No. It supports studio client invoicing and payment records; filing remains with you, your CA, or accounting software.
What GST rate applies to photography?
