What's hard in building materials
Truckloads, stage payments and thin margins
Every truck needs an e-way bill
Nearly every load crosses the limit. Make the e-way bill from the IRN, update Part-B when the truck changes and extend before it runs out.

Building materials guide
Rates, trucks and stage payments
Building material suppliers move high value on thin margins. One wrong rate or an expired e-way bill on a full truck costs more than the margin on the load, so the basics have to be right every time.
| Item | HSN | GST rate |
|---|---|---|
| Cement | 2523 | 18% from 22-09-2025 (was 28%) |
| TMT bars and rods | 7214 | 18% Check with CA |
| Binding wire | 7217 | 18% Check with CA |
Give each item its unit (bag, tonne, kilo) and 6-digit HSN once. The HSN code finder helps when you set them up, and the GST calculator checks a rate in seconds.
Stage payments
Builders and contractors pay when their own stage payment comes in. Set the credit days you agreed per party; reminders go on the due date with a payment link, and the A–E grade tells you who pays on time before the next load goes out on credit.
Not in Moharbill yet: e-way bills without an IRN (for stock transfers between your yards), and weighbridge slips. Use the e-way bill portal for transfers until the standalone e-way bill arrives.

FAQ
Questions from building materials suppliers
What GST rate applies to cement now?
Cement (HSN 2523) moved from 28% to 18% from 22 September 2025. TMT bars and binding wire are at 18%. Check the rates for your items with your CA.
Can I bill cement in bags and steel in tonnes on one bill?
Yes. Each item has its own unit (bag, tonne, kilo), and the e-invoice carries the right UQC for each line.
Does every truck need an e-way bill?
Any consignment above ₹50,000 moving by vehicle does, and some states set a higher limit for movement inside the state. Moharbill makes it from the IRN; you add the vehicle.
Is TDS on purchases from cement companies handled?
Yes, on Pro and Business. The section 393 tracker counts purchases per supplier against ₹50 lakh and keeps back 0.1% on payments once crossed.
Does my CA need to pay?
No. Every plan includes a free CA seat.
