For Claude Code Users (Folder Processing)

If given a folder path, use:

python3 -c "
import subprocess, sys, os
folder = sys.argv[1]
for f in os.listdir(folder):
    if f.lower().endswith('.pdf'):
        print(f)
" "$FOLDER_PATH"

For password-protected PDFs:

python3 -c "
import pikepdf, sys
with pikepdf.open(sys.argv[1], password=sys.argv[2]) as pdf:
    # extract text from pdf
    pass
"

• GST calculation error — amounts do not match rate × taxable value
• Duplicate invoice — same vendor + same invoice number appears more than once
• GSTIN mismatch — vendor GSTIN state code does not match place of supply
• TDS required — payment above threshold to a contractor/professional (Section 194C/J)
• Missing fields — critical fields blank or illegible

Present exceptions as:
