Mumbai steel trade

Billing for the Kalamboli steel market

Much of the Mumbai region's steel trade runs from the iron and steel market yard at Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai, alongside the older iron market at Masjid Bunder. Traders here buy from mills and stockyards and sell TMT bars, plates, sheets and pipes to builders, fabricators and dealers across Maharashtra and beyond.

Almost every bill is by weight and almost every load is a truck above the e-way bill limit. Purchases from a single mill often cross ₹50 lakh in a year, which brings in TDS under section 393 for buyers above ₹10 crore turnover.

How Mumbai steel traders use Moharbill

  • Tonnes and kilos: TMT in tonnes and binding wire in kilos, each with the right UQC on the e-invoice.
  • E-way bill per truck: made from the IRN; update Part-B when the material is shifted to another truck and extend if the truck is held up.
  • TDS on mill purchases: purchases per supplier counted against ₹50 lakh, and 0.1% kept back on payment once crossed.
  • Builder credit: limits and the A–E grade before the next load goes out on credit.

FAQ

Questions from steel traders

Does every steel truck need an e-way bill?

Above ₹50,000 to another state and above ₹1 lakh inside Maharashtra (as notified by the state), yes. Most steel loads cross both. Confirm the current position with your CA.

Is TDS on purchases from mills 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.

Can I bill by the tonne?

Yes. Give the item the unit metric tonne (MTS) or kilo (KGS); rates per tonne multiply out on the line.

Can my staff use it in Marathi?

Yes. The whole app and every WhatsApp reminder work in Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil and English.
