Rectification in GSTN for Inter state Supply

[SURYAKANT MITHBAVKAR]

We have cleared material in month of Dec-17 to our customer in Himachal Pradesh with IGST Charged. we have filed GSTR1 showing details of supply in that particular transaction.

Now, customer noticed that there is mistake in invoice in billing address. Customer want billing address should be in mumbai with their GSTN number and shipping address is in Himachal Pradesh to avail ITC on that particular transaction which is wrongly allotted to Himachal Pradesh Customer as per GSTR1 filed by us.

Customer clarification is that they are going to make payment to us related transaction from their Mumbai Office so they also want to take ITC on same transaction.

Kindly advise can we reverse the transaction by issuing credit note stating that mistake occured in billing address against tax invoice issued to Himachal pradesh customer.

Thereafter, we will issue fresh tax invoice on current date to customer with CGST/SGST stating earlier invoice reference because in this case we will not make any material movement only rectify mistake by issuing document.

Is there any documentary evidence for the above procedure under GST law?

You may raise an revised invoice in this matter as it is allowed in GST Laws.

Dear Sir,

As per my view, there is no need to issue credit note for the afore-mentioned transaction.

You can amend/revise the details issued under the original invoice itself. Further, the same can be notified under column no 7A of GSTR 1. Relevant extract of the same from the said return has been reproduced hereunder for the sake of ready reference:-

"7A. Amendment to Taxable outward supplies to consumer of earlier tax periods (original supplies covered under 7 above in earlier tax period (s))"

Hope this will resolve your query.

Being Invoice is a primary document and the return is secondary and since, it is bill to ship transaction still in our view you must revise your Invoice first then your statutory returns.

I concur with the views of M/s.YAGAY and SUN Sirs.
