Is PharmaBill GST compliant?
Yes.

Does PharmaBill maintain the Schedule H1 register?

The Mobile Reports Hub shows daily sales, sales margin, GST reports (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GST summary) and compliance and audit reports (expiry alerts, Schedule H1 log, stock ledger and customer history) in any phone or tablet browser on the shop network, read-only.
