How reliable is this figure
Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.
Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Tax identifier
On a document issued in India the identifier is labelled GSTIN. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.
Expected format
^\d{2}[A-Z]{5}\d{4}[A-Z][1-9A-Z]Z[0-9A-Z]$
DocsOrigin checks this identifier's structure as you type — a wrong number on an issued document cannot be corrected by editing it.
Numbering
Documents in India are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
How India writes dates and money
Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.

INR is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.

Invoicing in India — questions
What tax rate do I charge in India?
The standard GST rate recorded for India is 18%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in India?
The document set recognised in India is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Facture, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in India?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in India as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.
What if the rate for India is wrong or changes?
Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
