Samjhein: GST Tax Invoice Kya Hota Hai Aur Kab Zaroori Hai?

Jab aap GST registered vyapari hain aur kisi doosre registered ya unregistered vyapari ko taxable samaan ya service bechte hain, to normal bill ki jagah official "Tax Invoice" issue karna qanoonan zaroori hota hai. Is invoice ke bina aapka buyer Input Tax Credit (ITC) claim nahi kar sakta.

Khas Baat: Tax Invoice sirf ek payment slip nahi hai; ye GST department ke saamne aapki sales ka legal proof hai. Agar invoice me mandatory 16 fields jaise GSTIN, HSN Code ya Place of Supply me se koi ek bhi galat ho, to buyer ka GSTR-2B match nahi hoga aur unka tax refund ruk sakta hai.
