E invoice for Sep if e inv applicable from 1st Oct 22

[Rakesh Sharma]

E invoice for my firm is applicable from 01.10.22. I have made invoice in 28.09.22 but goods were not dispatched that time. If goods will dispatched in Oct then is e-invoice is required to be made or not?

Sir,

As per Section 31 (1) of CGST Act, 2017 "a registered person supplying taxable goods shall, before or at the time of,-

(a) removal of goods for supply to the recipient, where the supply involves movement of goods.

If the movement of goods is delayed or postponed to a later date, then the invoice already issued is to be canceled and a fresh invoice has to be issued at the time of actual movement of the goods.

Sir,

In continuation of my reply when a fresh invoice is issued, at that time if it is mandatory to issue e-invoice then you have to issue an e-invoice.

Under the law the invoice can be issued even before the removal of goods. In such case for invoices issued prior to 1.10.22 no e-invoices required even if movement is after such date.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

When e-invoice is applicable w.e.f. 01.10.2022 then e-invoice is applicable for invoice dated 01.10.2022 and onward.

Agree

AI Summary

E invoice applicability requires generating an e invoice when a reissued tax invoice is created after the e invoicing effective date. Where movement of goods is postponed, the originally issued invoice should be cancelled and a fresh invoice issued at actual movement; if e invoicing is mandatory at the time that fresh invoice is issued, an e invoice must be generated, whereas invoices issued before the e invoicing effective date need not be converted to e invoices.
