Invoice for export

[Satyen Rohit]

Hello Sir,

I am and individual with a GST number, IEC and current account, all on my personal pan card and I dont have any registered company. How can I make an invoice for exports of goods ?

[Rajagopalan Ranganathan]

Sir,

It is not necessary that you must have a registered company to raise an invoice. You treat you as proprietor of a firm which is engaged in exporting goods. Therefore you can raise an invoice indicvating your GST number and IEC.

Thanks to Shri Rajagopalan for the information furnished in his reply.

In my view a proprietor can also do export.

Thank You for your valuable comments.

You can raise the invoice in the name of your IEC.

Moreover, if you have GST & IEC under your own personal name then = Firm (Company in your words) Proprietorshiprship Firm with your personal name.

For future aspects moving forward business in personal name is not too good , so I advise you to amend your GST, your legal name would be as per PAN (Your name) but you can enter different trade name in GST portal, open new bank current account in trade name and modify your IEC code & you have professional business name like Adani Enterprise or Om International, etc.
