request for clarification on generation of invoice-gst

[Ramakrishnan Seshadri]

Dear Sirs,

Good Morning.

We need a clarification on generation of invoices. We are supplier of OEM Car company and supplying parts through generation of invoices like original for buyer and duplicate for transporter to them. Now the customer says you can supply the parts with duplicate for transporter copy and no need of original for buyer copy. Whether this is correct or not under gst. Any amendment has came that one invoice is ok .Please clarify.

Thanks & Regards,

S.Ramakrishnan

AI Summary

Car parts supplier asked if GST allows only duplicate invoice for transport. GST rules require triplicate invoices. A supplier of car parts sought clarification on whether it is permissible under GST to supply parts with only a duplicate invoice for the transporter, omitting the original for the buyer. Multiple responses clarified that, according to GST rules, invoices must be generated in triplicate: original for the recipient, duplicate for the transporter, and triplicate for the supplier. No amendments have changed this requirement. It was emphasized that the original invoice is essential for availing Input Tax Credit (ITC) and for audit purposes, despite some practical variations in handling invoices.
