Intimation letter needed for using computer genarated invoice?

[Yatin Bhopi]

Dear experts,

Intimation letter needed for using computer generated invoice?

From 1^st April 2015 we wish to use computer generated invoice instead of continuous stationery (pre-printed Sr. No). Now we will use A/4 size invoice where invoice no will be generated at the time of printing invoice.

Are we need to intimate the excise department before using such stationery?

AI Summary

Computer-generated invoice compliance requires software safeguards against duplication and editability, and no formal intimation is legally required.
No statutory intimation is required before adopting computer generated invoices; the software must prevent invoice number duplication and restrict post delivery edits, and taxpayers must be able to demonstrate these compliance features during audits. Voluntary intimation to the range office with an acknowledgement is a prudent record to retain for any future regulatory disclosure requests.
