17 May 2015 They should pay the duty on that particular invoice raise before CT-3 on payment of duty under claim of rebate, as per normal export procedure.

20 July 2024 The situation you've described involves a client raising an invoice before receiving the CT-3 form, and subsequently raising another invoice after receiving the CT-3 form. Here’s how you can approach this:

### 1. Invoice Raised Before Receiving CT-3 Form:
- If an invoice was raised before the CT-3 form was received, and if the CT-3 form was subsequently received and processed, the first invoice should ideally be canceled or adjusted.
- The purpose of the CT-3 form (Central Sales Tax form) is to validate that interstate sales are made against Form C (for concessional rate of CST). If the form was not received before the invoice was raised, there might have been an oversight.
- Contact the client to discuss the situation and explain that the first invoice should be canceled or adjusted because the correct procedure was not followed. Inform them that the CT-3 form was necessary before the invoice should have been raised.

### 2. Invoice Raised After Receiving CT-3 Form:
- If a second invoice was raised after receiving the CT-3 form, this suggests that the correct procedure was followed this time.
- Verify that the CT-3 form matches the invoice details and ensure that all applicable taxes and forms are correctly accounted for.

### Actions to Take:
- **Cancel or Adjust First Invoice:** Request the client to cancel or adjust the first invoice that was raised before the CT-3 form was received. This helps in maintaining accurate records and compliance with tax regulations.
- **Document the Sequence:** Document the sequence of events and communications with the client regarding the invoices and the CT-3 form. This documentation will be useful for audit and compliance purposes.
- **Educate the Client:** Ensure that the client understands the importance of receiving the CT-3 form before raising invoices for interstate sales. Provide guidance on the correct procedures to avoid such issues in the future.

### Conclusion:
It’s crucial to maintain compliance with tax regulations and to follow the correct procedures for interstate sales under CST. By communicating with the client, canceling or adjusting the incorrect invoice, and ensuring that future invoices are raised only after receiving the necessary CT-3 form, you can rectify the situation effectively. If there are any doubts or complexities, consulting with a tax advisor or legal expert specializing in indirect taxation can provide additional guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.
