Reporting of inter State supplies: required in GSTR 3B and GSTR 1 to ensure proper IGST apportionment and compliance.
Registered persons must report inter State supplies to unregistered persons with place of supply in Table 3.2 of FORM GSTR 3B and in Table 7B of FORM GSTR 1. IGST apportionment to the State of supply is based on information in Table 3.2; omission causes non apportionment, mismatches with actual supplies and non compliance with IGST apportionment obligations. Failure to report attracts penalties under APGST law.

Inter-State supply classification: one-time exception treating central and state tax paid as IGST where amounts match.
Supply of goods in customs bonded warehouses retained the character of inter-State supply, but due to lack of reporting facility some suppliers discharged central tax and State tax instead of integrated tax; the Commissioner grants a one-time accommodation deeming tax payment compliant where the combined central and State tax paid equals the integrated tax due.

Place of supply requirement: invoices must state the place and State for inter State supplies to ensure correct tax allocation.

Inter State supply characterization for warehoused goods: equivalent central and state tax payments deemed compliant where portal reporting was unavailable.
Supply of goods deposited in customs bonded warehouses is an inter State supply; portal limitations caused suppliers to report such transfers as intra State and pay central and state tax.

Registered suppliers must report inter State supplies to unregistered persons, composition taxpayers and UIN holders in Table 3.2 of FORM GSTR 3B and rate wise inter State supplies to unregistered persons in Table 7B of FORM GSTR 1. Apportionment of IGST to the State where supply takes place is based on Table 3.2 entries; omission leads to non apportionment and mismatches between supplies and apportioned tax. Registered persons are directed to report these supplies with place of supply as mandated; contraventions attract penal action under the State GST statute.

Place of supply requirement: invoices for inter state supplies must state the place and State to determine tax destination.
Rule 46(n) requires tax invoices for inter State supplies to specify the place of supply along with the State name. The Commissioner instructs all registered persons to include these particulars, refers to the Integrated GST place of supply rules for determination, and warns that contraventions attract penal action under the Manipur GST Act. Trade notices should publicize the Circular and implementation difficulties may be reported to the Commissioner.
