Principal agent relationship under GST: invoice issuance determines when goods transfers are treated as supply without consideration. Scope of the principal agent relationship under Schedule I hinges on the agent's representative character and whether the agent issues the invoice in his own name or has authority to transfer title. Only where the agent supplies or receives goods on behalf of the principal (and invoices in his name or takes title) does the Schedule I entry treat the transaction as a supply without consideration; services between principal and agent require consideration and fall outside this entry. Invoice issuance is the objective criterion to determine coverage and consequent registration obligations.
