Electronics retail handles entities a kirana shop never touches — IMEI/serial numbers, per-unit warranty periods, product-specific HSN codes and e-invoicing thresholds — on top of the standard GST machinery every Indian retailer shares. Generic billing software treats these as a free-text “notes” field, which is exactly why proof disappears when you need it. Purpose-built electronics software captures each as structured data at the point of sale.
Understanding electronics retail
IMEI is the unit's fingerprint. Every phone or appliance has a 15-digit IMEI (or serial number) that links one physical unit from distributor → shelf → customer. Without it captured as structured data — not a free-text note — returns, theft claims and warranty disputes become a 20-minute paper hunt with no clean answer at the end.
HSN and GST run per product. Electronics span multiple HSN codes — 8517 for phones, 8471 for laptops and computers, 8504 for chargers and adapters, 8518 for headphones and speakers, 8507 for power banks. The wrong rate at the counter becomes a GSTR-1 mismatch at filing. Set the code once per product and it auto-applies on every invoice, forever.
The ₹50,000 threshold changes the workflow. Dealer orders and appliance deliveries cross the B2B value where e-invoicing IRN and e-way bills kick in (CBIC). A purpose-built tool generates these straight from the invoice; a generic biller sends you to the government portal in the middle of a rush.
Everything else is standard GST machinery — done right. On top of the electronics-specific entities, you still need clean GST invoices, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data, ITC on purchases and a B2B/B2C split. Accountune handles both layers from the same billing, so nothing is reconstructed at month-end.

These are not hypothetical. They happen in small businesses across India every month — and each one quietly costs money or hours.
A customer claims warranty on a handset; you have no record of when it was sold, so you eat a replacement you never owed.
Undeserved replacementsWarranty expiry is calculated from the invoice date and stored against the IMEI; a QR digital warranty card proves it instantly.
Undeserved replacements stopWithout the IMEI as structured data, a return or theft claim is a 20-minute paper hunt with no clean answer.
Wrong returns acceptedEvery IMEI is logged from distributor to shelf to customer; search it to see the full chain in seconds.
Wrong returns refusedStaff bill a 128GB Black when only 256GB Blue is in stock, and the count quietly goes wrong.
Oversold variantsEach colour/storage variant carries its own count; stock deducts only from the exact variant sold.
No out-of-stock colour soldDealer orders and appliance deliveries cross the B2B threshold, and the government portal stalls you mid-rush.
Compliance scrambleGenerate the IRN and e-way bill straight from the invoice — no separate trip to the government portal.
Compliance without the portalRepair jobs are loose cash entries in a separate book, disconnected from your accounts and your customer records.
Untracked repair revenueEach repair job is a service invoice tied to the customer and IMEI, with the correct GST on services.
Repair becomes documented revenueYou pay distributor bills from memory and overpay, because nothing is reconciled invoice by invoice.
Overpaid distributor billsA running distributor ledger shows exactly what's pending, invoice by invoice.
Pay only what's actually pendingSetup to first IMEI-tracked bill — under 15 minutes
Most electronics shop owners create their first IMEI-tracked bill within 15 minutes of signing up. No IT setup, no accounting jargon.
Add each model with storage/colour variants, selling price, GST rate and HSN code — assigned once, auto-applies forever. Already have an Excel list? Bulk import loads it in one step.
Turn on serial/IMEI tracking and set a default warranty per product (12-month brand / 6-month shop, or custom). Expiry auto-calculates from the invoice date.
Search or scan → add the IMEI → invoice. Stock, warranty date, GST and the customer record all update automatically. Print or WhatsApp the PDF in one tap.
Returns and repairs link back to the original invoice and IMEI; e-way bill / IRN generate for ₹50,000+ dispatches. At month end, GSTR-1 auto-compiles with correct HSN and a clean B2B/B2C split.
Returns, repairs, warranty and GST all trace back to the original IMEI-tracked invoice — nothing reconstructed by hand at year-end.

Based on
In electronics retail the loss is invisible until year-end. A replacement you didn't owe, an IMEI you can't prove, a distributor bill ₹7,000 too high — none of it feels like a billing problem in the moment. Fix the record at the point of sale and most of these losses simply never happen.
Buyer's guide · 2026
When choosing electronics billing software, check seven things: structured IMEI tracking, auto warranty expiry, variant-as-stock handling, automatic HSN/GST, IRN and e-way bill generation, true Android support, and total three-year cost.
A free-text note can't be searched, linked to a warranty or proven in a dispute. It must be a real field in stock and billing.
Accountune
Accountune builds IMEI/serial into stock entry and billing.
Manual warranty dates get forgotten or faked. Expiry should compute itself and be provable.
Accountune
Accountune: yes — per-product default plus a QR warranty card.
Colour and storage variants must each carry their own count under one base model — or your counts drift.
Accountune
Accountune: colour/storage variants live under one base model.
The wrong rate at the counter is the biggest cause of GSTR-1 mismatches in electronics. Set it once, apply forever.
Accountune
Accountune: assign the HSN once; it auto-applies on every invoice.
Above ₹50,000 B2B (CBIC), you need IRN and e-way bills from the invoice — not a separate portal trip.
Accountune
Accountune: generated from the invoice (Growth/Pro).
Most owners run the shop from a phone or a counter tablet — desktop-only software ties you to one machine.
Accountune

Type a keyword or pick a category — IMEI, warranty, GST, variants. Everything an electronics owner asks before switching is one keystroke away.
Accountune starts at ₹799/year for the Lite plan, with IMEI tracking, warranty management, variant handling and GSTR-1 auto-generation included in every plan. Growth is ₹1,849/year (3 users, e-invoicing, 5,000 e-way bills) and Pro is ₹4,490/year (unlimited users, multi-GSTIN, unlimited e-way bills). Free migration from Tally, Vyapar, Marg or Excel is included with any paid plan and typically completes in 24–48 hours with no data loss. For comparison, Tally Silver is ₹26,550 one-time plus ₹4,500/year TSS (a one-time licence cost — the year-1 cost band higher on the page reflects a 3-user setup).
Yes — there's a free trial with full access to all features, and no credit card is required to start. Sign up with just your phone number or email, set up your products with IMEI tracking enabled, create a test sale and watch the warranty date calculate itself. Try the repair-job feature and generate a GSTR-1 export. Most electronics shop owners get a clear sense of the fit on the first day, and free migration help is available when you switch over.
Yes — IMEI tracking is built into both stock entry and billing, not a free-text notes field. Every phone or trackable unit has its IMEI recorded when it arrives from the distributor and again when it's sold. The IMEI prints on the invoice, stores in the customer's record, and links to the warranty. Search any IMEI to see the full chain — which distributor it came from, which customer bought it, the date, price, and warranty status. This turns warranty disputes, returns and theft claims into a two-second lookup instead of a twenty-minute paper search.
Yes. Set a default warranty period per product once — 12 months, 6 months, or a custom length. When you sell the unit, the expiry date is calculated automatically from the invoice date and stored against both the IMEI and the customer record, along with a QR digital warranty card. Brand warranty and shop warranty are tracked separately so you can see which applies. When a customer returns, search their name or IMEI and the active/expired status appears instantly, with the exact expiry date.
Yes. Because every invoice already carries the correct HSN code and GST rate, your GSTR-1 data is compiled automatically each month. B2B invoices with a buyer GSTIN and B2C sales are categorised correctly and separately. At month end you download the GSTR-1 data and your CA files it without manually compiling anything. GSTR-3B is populated from your sales and purchase records. What used to take a full day of sorting invoices now takes about an hour.
All standard electronics HSN codes are supported, including 8517 for mobile phones, 8471 for laptops and computers, 8504 for chargers and adapters, 8518 for headphones and speakers, and 8507 for power banks, among others. You assign the correct HSN code when you first set up each product. After that, it applies automatically to every invoice for that product — no manual lookup at the counter. This is the single biggest cause of GSTR-1 mismatches in electronics shops, and saving the code once removes it entirely.
State detection is automatic. When you enter a buyer's GSTIN from another state, Accountune applies IGST instead of CGST and SGST without any manual tax-type selection. This works for both B2B invoices with a buyer GSTIN and B2C interstate sales. Because the tax type is derived from the place of supply rather than chosen by counter staff, you avoid the common error of charging CGST+SGST on a sale that should have been IGST.
Yes — e-invoicing IRN and e-way bill generation are available in the Growth and Pro plans. For dispatches above ₹50,000, such as bulk dealer orders or appliance deliveries, generate the e-way bill directly from the invoice. Transport details are added once and the bill is ready without opening the government portal separately. For businesses crossing the CBIC e-invoicing turnover threshold, the IRN is generated from the invoice automatically.
Each variant carries its own stock count, price and GST details under one base product. Set up the base model once — say “Samsung Galaxy A55” — then add variants like 128GB Black, 128GB Blue and 256GB Black. Billing shows all variants clearly for fast selection, and stock deducts only from the exact variant sold. Display and demo units are flagged separately so they never inflate your sellable count. Reports break sales and stock down per variant.
Yes. Mark units as demo or display when you enter stock, and they are excluded from your available, sellable inventory — though their IMEI is still logged. This matters because most generic billing software counts display pieces as available stock, so your count shows three units when only one is actually sellable. When a demo unit is eventually sold as an open-box piece, it moves cleanly from demo stock onto a sale invoice.
Yes — repair work is logged as a service invoice, completely separate from product sale invoices, with the correct GST treatment for services. Create a repair job entry with the customer name, device model, IMEI, problem description, parts used, labour charge and GST on service. Track the job status as received, in progress or completed, and send the customer a WhatsApp notification in one tap when it's ready. When the same customer returns later, the full repair history appears in seconds.
Yes — you can create multiple price lists and assign them per customer type. Set a retail price, a dealer price and a distributor price for the same product. When you bill a dealer account, the dealer price applies automatically without a manual override at the counter. Walk-in customers get simple cash invoices; dealer accounts get credit terms, outstanding tracking and payment reminders — all from the same dashboard.
Yes — partial payments and instalment tracking are supported. If a customer pays ₹5,000 down on an ₹18,000 phone, the remaining ₹13,000 stays as outstanding in their account. Each instalment is logged with its date, the full payment history is always visible, and a WhatsApp reminder goes out when the next instalment is due. Every payment ties back to the original invoice and IMEI.
Yes — Accountune runs fully on any Android or iOS phone and tablet, and in any desktop browser, all on one login with real-time sync. Many electronics owners keep a small tablet at the counter for billing while the owner reviews stock and outstanding from their own phone. Unlike desktop-only software, you aren't tied to a single computer.
Yes — your data lives on AWS India cloud servers with hourly automatic backups and 256-bit AES encryption, not only on your device. If your phone is lost or stolen, log in from any new phone, tablet or browser and your complete data — every invoice, every IMEI, every customer account and outstanding balance — is exactly as you left it. There's no manual backup to maintain. Accountune is also ISO 27001 aligned with a 99.9% uptime commitment.
