Principal-agent relationship: invoice issuance determines when supply of goods is on behalf of principal and triggers GST registration.
Clarifies that Schedule I treats certain transfers of goods between principal and agent as supply without consideration where the agent acts in a representative capacity. An objective invoice-based test is prescribed: if the agent issues the invoice in his own name for further supply, the transfer falls within Schedule I; if invoicing is in the principal's name, it does not. The key factor is whether the agent has authority to pass or receive title. Agents covered by Schedule I may be treated as suppliers and face GST registration obligations, while commission agents in wholly exempt agricultural transactions remain outside registration.

Agent-supplied goods treated as deemed supply - invoice issuance and title transfer determine GST liability.
Schedule I deems certain transfers of goods between principal and agent as deemed supply without consideration where the agent supplies or receives goods on behalf of the principal. The decisive criterion is the agent's representative character, objectively determined by whether the agent issues the invoice in his own name and has authority to transfer or receive title. Only goods (not services) fall within this entry. Agents who invoice in their own name or take possession and transfer title fall within Schedule I and may face registration obligations; agricultural commission agents may be exempt where underlying supplies are exempt.

Mandatory GSTIN or UIN on tax invoices required to ensure recipients can claim input tax credit and maintain compliance.
Suppliers must include the GSTIN or UIN of the registered recipient on every tax invoice to satisfy the invoice particulars requirement; failure to do so has prevented recipients from availing input tax credit and has created compliance difficulties for UIN holders. Registered suppliers are therefore requested to record recipient GSTIN/UIN on all invoices, and Trade Associations should circulate this requirement to their members.

The transporter continues to have warehouse-keeper recordkeeping obligations and the recipient must maintain prescribed books and records.

Principal-agent relationship: invoice issuance by agent determines deemed supply and registration consequences under GST.
The Schedule I deemed-supply applies where an agent supplies or receives goods in a representative capacity without consideration; the key objective test is whether the agent issues the invoice for onward supply in his own name, indicating authority to transfer or receive title on behalf of the principal. If the principal's name is used on invoices the intermediary is not covered by Schedule I. Commission agents handling agricultural produce are exempt from registration when principals are not taxable, but compulsory registration arises where the principal is taxable, the supplies are taxable, or tax is payable under reverse charge.
