Splitting Invoice with Suffixes Violates Rule 11(2) of Central Excise Rules 2002; Transparency Advised to Avoid Issues. An individual sought advice on a legal forum regarding the splitting of an invoice into two parts, numbered 303 and 303A, due to waybill value concerns. Two experts responded, advising that this action violates Rule 11(2) of the Central Excise Rules, 2002, which mandates serial numbering of invoices without suffixes. They recommended informing the relevant department about the situation to demonstrate good faith and avoid future issues, as the action does not involve tax evasion. They emphasized the importance of transparency in reporting the value and duty paid. (AI Summary)
