How to Get a GST Invoice from Rapido
Rapido has no direct Download Invoice button in the app: instead, open your ride history, select the trip and tap View Receipt for the fare breakdown, and a copy is automatically emailed to your registered address after every ride. For a formal GST invoice carrying Rapido's GSTIN, raise a request through the in-app Help section with your ride ID. Bike taxi rides carry 5% GST: lower than the 18% charged on cab aggregator convenience fees, which is why Rapido and Uber receipts look different side by side.

What GST Rate Applies to Rapido?
Under current GST 2.0 regulations, Rapido charges 5% GST. Here is the concrete numerical breakdown:
A ₹105 Rapido bike taxi or auto ride carries 5% GST on the ride fare. On a ₹100.00 base fare, 5% GST equals ₹5.00, split as ₹2.50 CGST (2.5%) plus ₹2.50 SGST (2.5%).
| Component | Rate | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Tax Base Amount | - | ₹100.00 |
| CGST (Central Tax) | 2.5% | ₹2.50 |
| SGST (State Tax) | 2.5% | ₹2.50 |
| Total Gross Paid | 5% Total | ₹105.00 |
For inter-state trips, the ₹5.00 appears as a single 5.0% IGST line. You can calculate any custom bill amount using our free GST Calculator.
When It Doesn't Work: Common Issues & Solutions
Tested solutions for common problems when retrieving Rapido tax invoices:
Solution: That's expected: Rapido doesn't offer in-app PDF download. Use the emailed receipt, or request a formal invoice via Help.
Solution: The basic in-app receipt is a fare summary only. The formal GST invoice with GSTIN has to be requested separately through support.
Solution: Bike taxis are taxed at 5% on the full fare. Cab aggregators charge 18% GST specifically on their convenience/service fee, while the ride fare itself is 5%: that's the source of the confusion, not an error on either receipt.
