FAQs

Due date is the date when the payment is payable on the invoice whereas the invoice date is the date on which the invoice is created on the bill book.

Can you revise the bill book issued before GST?

You can revise invoices issued before GST. All the dealers under the GST regime should mandatorily apply for provisional registration before getting the permanent registration certificate.

What are other types of Bill books?

Some of the other types of invoices include Bill of Supply, Aggregate Invoice, Debit Note and Credit Note. A bill of supply is almost similar to the GST invoice. But the bill of supply will not include any kind of tax amount as the seller is not supposed to charge GST to the buyer. An aggregate invoice is issued when the value of several invoices is less than INR 200 and if the buyer is unregistered. For example: if you have issued three invoices the same day with an amount of Rs. 80, Rs. 90, and Rs. 120, then you can issue a single bill book mentioning the total amount of Rs. 290. A debit note is dispensed by the seller when the amount payable by the purchaser to the seller increases. Whereas the credit note is given by the seller when then the value of the invoice decreases.
