Why Do Island Businesses Need Their Own Invoicing Tool?
Operating a business in the Andamans comes with unique challenges. Around 90% of essential commodities are imported from mainland states. Managing freight costs, fluctuating supply prices, and a booming tourist season requires speed and accuracy.
You don't have time to sit at a desktop computer to figure out complex accounting jargon. You need a tool that works where you work—on your mobile phone.
Andaman Insights is a SaaS product for businesses of the Andaman Islands. Our work is to make the lives of Andmanese easy; we will educate them, empower them, open business opportunities to break monopolies, and work toward the vision of making the islands developed/viksit.
Powerful. GST-Ready. Dead Simple.

Zero Jargon, Zero Friction
Designed for shopkeepers, homestay owners, and tour operators. No accounting degree needed. Just enter the amount, select the tax rate, and hit generate.
HSN codes & GST rates
GST rates for goods and services sold in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands
The rates island businesses bill most often, with their HSN / SAC codes. Within the islands the tax is split into CGST + UTGST; for a customer in another State or Union Territory the same rate is charged as IGST.

GST Invoice Tool — frequently asked questions
Is the GST invoice maker really free?
Yes. You can create, download and share as many invoices as you like. Invoices on the free plan carry a small Andaman Insights logo and QR code at the bottom. Invoice Pro (₹999 a year) removes them and unlocks 50+ invoice colours.
Which GST do I charge in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands?
The islands are a Union Territory, so a sale to a customer within the islands carries CGST + UTGST (half the rate each). A sale to a customer in another State or Union Territory carries IGST at the full rate. The tool picks the right one from the place of supply you select.
I am not registered under GST, or I am a composition dealer. Can I use it?
Yes. Choose “Not registered” for a simple invoice without tax, or “Composition” for a Bill of Supply with the wording the law asks for.
How do I send the invoice on WhatsApp?
Press “Share on WhatsApp”. On most phones the PDF opens in your share menu, where you pick WhatsApp and the customer. On a computer the PDF is downloaded and WhatsApp opens with a ready message, so you only attach the file.
Can I change an invoice after saving it?
Yes. Open “My invoices”, pick the invoice, change anything and save again. You can also copy an old invoice to start a new one.
Does it create e-invoices (IRN) or e-way bills?
No. It prepares the invoice document. Businesses that must report e-invoices (turnover above ₹5 crore) or raise e-way bills still do that on the Government portals.
