E-way Bill Management & Logistics Compliance As a coastal export hub, Kollam runs on e-way bills. We automate their generation and place-of-supply accuracy. So cashew, seafood and pencil-slat consignments never stall in transit.














Kollam is a coastal export powerhouse on Ashtamudi Lake. Cashew processing, titanium minerals at Chavara, seafood and clam exports and pencil slats all converge here. That mix makes precise multi-sector GST compliance essential.
Startup Ecosystem: Beyond legacy exporters, Kollam's Technopark Phase-V at Kundara is a fresh draw. It brings IT/ITeS ventures and SEZ-linked startups to the lakeside belt. All of them need reliable GST compliance from day one.
GST jurisdiction: CGST Thiruvananthapuram Commissionerate. Kerala also levies Professional Tax (PT) alongside GST, so we keep both aligned.
Cashew processing — shelled cashew kernels (whole or broken) attract 5% GST under HSN 0801 (08013210/08013220), with no cess. Raw cashew bought from an agriculturist carries no GST in the farmer's hands. But a registered unit must pay GST under reverse charge (RCM) on those purchases. It can then claim it back as ITC. Shelling or roasting done on a job-work basis falls under SAC 9988.
