You can use only Trade Name, otherwise you have both same in GST Certificate.

AI Summary

Invoice name requirement: invoices must reflect the legal name on GST; dual series under trade and legal names not permitted. Tax invoices must correspond to the legal name shown on the GST registration certificate; separate invoice series in both legal and trade names is not permitted. If the trade name is also recorded in the GST registration, invoices may be issued in that name; absent such registration, the legal name must be used for invoice issuance and numbering.
