Yes, the client can issue normal tax invoices (i.e., regular GST invoices) for the housekeeping services, assuming the following conditions are met:
1. Nature of Supply Determines Invoice Type In GST, whether a supplier issues a reverse charge mechanism (RCM) invoice or a normal tax invoice depends on the type of service provided and who is liable to pay the tax.
a. Security Services (Under RCM) As per Notification No. 13/2017 – Central Tax (Rate), security services (excluding services provided by a body corporate) provided to a registered person are covered under RCM, meaning:
The recipient (client) pays the GST.
The supplier (your client) issues a bill of supply, not a tax invoice (because no GST is charged by him).
b. Housekeeping Services Housekeeping services are not covered under RCM (unless provided through e-commerce operators in some cases).
Therefore, your client, as the supplier, is liable to collect GST and:
Must issue a normal tax invoice to the client.
Charge applicable GST on the invoice.
File and pay the GST to the government.
2. GST Registration Required Your client must be registered under GST to issue tax invoices and collect GST for housekeeping services.
