GST 2.0 compliance is becoming a major concern for retailers and businesses. This blog explains GST-2.0 changes effective September 22 and how VasyERP helps businesses manage old vs. new stock, pricing, billing, compliance, and automation seamlessly across branches without manual errors.

On September 22, the Indian government will introduce GST-2.0, and many businesses are confused about how to comply. Distributors, wholesalers, and retailers are asking how GST-2.0 compliance software like VasyERP can help manage stock, billing, and pricing accurately.

• How will my current stock be affected by this new GST?
• Do I have to alter the price all at once? 
• Will this latest upgrade even be supported by my accounting software? 

Many small and medium-sized businesses are concerned since a tax update often involves hours of manual labour, the possibility of errors, and concerns about penalties.

The good news is that there is nothing to be concerned about if you are already using VasyERP or want to purchase it. GST-2.0 compliance is already seamless due to the ERP system’s design. The automated features of VasyERP will handle everything, so you don’t have to worry about how and what to alter. You just keep operating your business.

Key Highlights of GST 2.0

• New Tax Slabs: Revisions are being made to a few categories. To make things more affordable, everyday products might be moved to a lower slab, whereas luxury items and industrial materials might be moved to a higher or revised slab.
• Affected Categories: Retailers of luxury brands, consumer durables, FMCG goods, and products geared toward MSME’s need to get ready for the new GST rates.
• Compliance Updates: Starting with the first sale on September 22, businesses must make sure that their pricing, billing, and electronic invoicing immediately reflect the new rates.

If everything is clearly mentioned, then why is there confusion? The majority of companies have the same queries: 

• If I make a mistake when comparing old and new stock, would I face compliance issues? 
• What happens to the stock I bought before September 22nd? Will I still be charged the previous GST if I sell it after September 22nd? 
• How can I update my inventory without having to spend evenings manually adjusting prices? 

VasyERP takes care of all these very real concerns.

How Can Retailers Manage Old and New Stock Together?

Managing old stock vs new product is the largest challenge retailers face during tax migrations. Let’s take an easy approach.

1. Old Stock Situation

Assume that on September 15th, you bought 100 cartons of biscuits at the previous 18% GST rate. Since you haven’t sold them yet, biscuits will now be subject to a 12% tax rate under GST-2.0, which goes into effect on September 22. To stay in compliance, you must charge the new GST rate of 12% rather than 18% if you sell these cartons after September 22.

What Does This Mean to Retailers?

This creates two issues:

• Billing Accuracy: The GST that applies on the sale date, not the purchase date, must be accurately reflected on your invoices.
• Inventory Adjustment: How do you remember which batch was sold under the new tax regulations but bought at the old rates?

2. New Stock Scenario 

New purchases made on or after September 22nd will be automatically billed using the updated GST slab. For example, if you buy biscuits from your seller on September 23, the 12% GST will already be shown on the purchase invoice, and that rate should also show up on your resale billing.

How VasyERP Simplifies this Transition? 

This is how VasyERP simplifies a retailer’s life:

• Batch tracking: Purchase dates are automatically used to define batch marking of new and old stock. Whenever you create an invoice after the 22nd, the ERP ensures the system uses the newest GST rule that was in effect on the sale date.
• Tax automation based on HSNs: VasyERP links products to their HSN codes. As soon as the government sends you the new GST rate for that HSN, your catalogue will be automatically updated.
• Bulk Updates Made Easy: You can update GST slab and prices for hundreds or thousands of products with a few clicks. No need to update each SKU manually.
• Price Reconciliation: VasyERP enables you to lower MRP to compete with the market if the GST rate is lowered. It will let you protect your margins by changing sale prices when there are variations in prices.

VasyERP guarantees compliance by automatically ensuring, through sales, that the invoicing for both new stock and old stock are compliant.

Smooth Upgrade for Existing VasyERP Users

If you are an existing VasyERP user, it will be much easier to switch to GST-2.0. Here’s how it works:

1. Automatic Updates for Software

You do not need to update the new GST rules manually. The VasyERP system will automatically upload the new slabs and alerts on September 22.

2. Bulk GST Slab & Price Updates

What if you have 15,000 SKUs across multiple locations? If this were any other system, it would take weeks to manually change everything. For VasyERP, it’s simple:

• Choose affected items in large quantities. 
• Click “Update GST Slab.” 
• Billing and prices are automatically updated across all branches.

3. E-Invoice & e-Way Bill Compliance

Are you concerned about generating reports or filing properly under the new GST rules? Your digital invoices are compliant with GSTN systems based on VasyERP’s e-invoice & e-way bill link. There are zero manual adjustments needed.

4. Cloud Advantage

VasyERP is cloud-based; therefore, changes are instant and visible across all branches, users, and devices. Changes are now visible immediately to the accounts team, billing counters, and retail personnel.

Are you considering the purchase of software just ahead of the GST-2.0 launch? You have made a smart decision. Here’s why:

• Pre-GST 2.0 Ready: The modified GST slabs will be pre-set with any new VasyERP purchase after September 22.

• Quick Onboarding: After you make your purchase, we help you bulk upload your product catalogue, inclusive of pricing, old stock state, HSN numbers.
