What have you done till now?
WinForms? WebControls?
Please, be more specific and provide more details.

"How can I do it?", you write some code that is how you would do it.

I am able to pick the contents from normal excel sheet and put it in datagridview but the problem is of the bill with the bill format containing not only the table needed but also the extra stuff such as header

Share your code.
Improve your question and add more details. Does "extra stuff" is embeded in Excel file?
If you can import the content of MS Excel file, where is a problem?

For reading Excel there are lots of examples from the official microsoft documentation which a google search should provide for you:

You could use OLEdb connection also.
