Where to Find the GSTIN on RedBus's Invoice
Finance and HR teams check for the vendor's registered 15-character GSTIN before approving reimbursement claims:
On RedBus ticket invoices, the bus operator's GSTIN or RedBus (Ibibo Group Private Limited)'s GSTIN is printed in the Tax Breakdown box on page 1.
Which number goes where on your expense sheet
Most company expense templates ask for the base amount and the GST in separate columns. The total is the exact amount you get reimbursed:
A ₹1,050 intercity AC bus ticket carries 5% passenger transport GST. On a ₹1,000.00 base ticket fare, 5% GST is ₹50.00 (₹25.00 CGST + ₹25.00 SGST).
| Expense Sheet Column | Tax Rate | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Fare / Price (Pre-Tax) | - | ₹1000.00 |
| CGST (Central Tax) | 2.5% | ₹25.00 |
| SGST (State Tax) | 2.5% | ₹25.00 |
| Total Amount Claimed | 5% Total | ₹1050.00 |
How the tax appears on the receipt — intra-state orders split it in two (CGST + SGST), while inter-state orders show one single line (IGST). You can calculate any custom amount with our free GST Calculator.
