Why Mavoin exists
I was billing Indian clients in rupees and foreign clients in dollars out of the same one-person consultancy in Ahmedabad. The domestic side needed CGST, SGST and IGST handled correctly. The export side needed an LUT declaration, the right SAC code, and an FX rate I could defend to a CA at year end.
The tools that did both started around ₹1,499 a month and came attached to a full accounting suite I had no use for — a ledger, inventory, a chart of accounts, none of which a solo freelancer opens twice a year. Everyone I knew doing the same work was in a Google Docs template and hoping.
So I built the narrow thing: GST-correct invoices, multi-currency, and nothing else. Not accounting software. Not an ERP. Invoices.
I use it for my own client billing. When something is wrong with an export invoice, I find out because my own money is stuck.

How we write about GST
Everything on the Mavoin blog is written from the position of someone who has had to get these invoices right for their own business — filing an LUT, working out whether a foreign client's commission counts as an intermediary service, chasing the rupee value of a dollar invoice at year end. It's practitioner writing, not a rewrite of a circular.
Where a post states a rule, it's the rule as we understand it at the date shown on the post, and posts carry a last-reviewed date when they've been revisited. GST changes, and a post that was right in 2024 may not be right now.
Mavoin is not a Chartered Accountant service. Nothing here is tax advice for your specific situation — verify GST specifics with your CA before you rely on them.
What Mavoin actually is
Invoicing software for Indian freelancers and solo founders. It raises GST-correct tax invoices for Indian clients and multi-currency invoices for foreign ones, keeps your books in INR with the FX rate captured on the invoice date, and connects to Claude so you can raise an invoice by asking. It is deliberately not an accounting suite — there is no ledger, no inventory, no payroll, and no plan to add them.
