Haryana State Customer is right. IGST is applicable. Goods stand delivered on the direction of Haryana State Customer.Place of supply is virtually Haryana.

Dear Nilesh Sir,

Agreed to KS Sir’s view. Kind addition to that:

Bill to Ship to Model:

As per Section 10(1)(b) of the IGST Act, the place of supply will be the principal place of business of the Haryana State Customer and not the recipient’s place (Maharashtra customer). In your case, the place of supply is in Haryana State for that tax invoice is to be issued by you levying IGST.

Haryana State Customer has to raise an invoice on Maharashtra Customer. That is his concern.

[Mr Rao]

Dear querist,

I agree with both the experts. Haryana State Customer is actually a buyer for all the practical purposes. The recipient in Maharashtra is mere a consignee who will receive the goods. In view of the same, your customer demanding IGST invoice is proper.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

I agree with the views of the experts.

[YAGAY andSUN]

In GST Laws there is no exemption on Bill to Ship to transactions. Therefore, IGST will be applicable on the interstate transactions and thereafter if such goods are sold within state then CGST and SGST will be applicable.

AI Summary

Haryana Buyer Rightly Demands IGST Invoice Under 'Bill to Ship to' Model, Section 10(1)(b) of IGST Act A business registered in Maharashtra received an order from a customer in Haryana, who instructed that goods be delivered within Maharashtra. The Maharashtra business charged CGST and SGST, but the Haryana customer requested an IGST invoice. Experts in the forum agreed that the Haryana customer is correct. According to the 'Bill to Ship to' model under Section 10(1)(b) of the IGST Act, the place of supply is considered Haryana, necessitating an IGST invoice. The Maharashtra recipient is merely a consignee, and the Haryana customer is the actual buyer, validating the demand for an IGST invoice.
