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

Invoice triplicate requirement: original copy for recipient remains necessary under GST; duplicate for transporter insufficient for ITC.
Supply of goods requires invoices in triplicate: original for recipient, duplicate for transporter and triplicate for supplier, with serial numbers furnished electronically in the return. Although transport duplicates often travel with consignment and recipients may rely on those for gate formalities, the legal requirement to provide and retain the original invoice for the buyer remains; original invoices are the primary documentary basis for claiming input tax credit and may be required on audit.
