Chemists in Kolkata

Built for medical stores in Kolkata

Kolkata has been eastern India’s trading capital for centuries. Burrabazar is one of the largest wholesale markets in Asia, and the city’s distributors supply shops across West Bengal, the North East, Bihar and Jharkhand.

Bagri Market is a major wholesale market for medicines and cosmetics, so Kolkata chemists often buy from many distributors. Batch-wise returns and scheme tracking are worth getting right.

Milaan ERP handles the details in the background. Enter a distributor’s bill once with batch, expiry and MRP. After that, the software picks the oldest batch at the counter, fills the H1 register while you bill and tells you what to return before the window closes.

GST in West Bengal

GST for Kolkata businesses, done right

Businesses registered in West Bengal have GSTINs starting with 19. Sales to customers within West Bengal carry CGST and SGST; sales to Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Assam and Sikkim or any other state carry IGST. Milaan ERP reads the customer’s state from their GSTIN or address and applies the right tax on every bill.

Durga Puja is the biggest shopping season of the year, followed by Diwali, Poila Baisakh and the wedding season. Distributors stock up well ahead of Puja. Since 22 September 2025, most goods are at 5% or 18% GST, so check that your item rates are up to date before the next busy season.

Tip: E-way bills are needed for inter-state movement of goods over ₹50,000. West Bengal may set its own limit for movement within the state, so check the current rule.

  • State code 19Local sales get CGST + SGST automatically.
  • Inter-state salesIGST for customers outside West Bengal.
  • E-way bill detailsReady from the invoice when goods move.
  • GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B dataExport the month for your CA.
  • Current GST ratesUpdate an item once when rates change.
