09 January 2026 1. How to Raise Invoices After 01-02-2026

For supplies made on/after 1 February 2026:

Invoice must show:

Taxable value (based on RSP if Rule 31D applies)

GST rate (e.g., 20% on raw tobacco)

GST amount under CGST + SGST (or IGST if interstate)

If applicable, additional excise duty (separately shown if collected)

HSN code for tobacco product correctly classified

Reference to applicable notification rates

2. Before 1 Feb 2026

Continue invoicing at old GST structure.

From 1 Feb 2026

Update billing system to new GST rate schedule.

If applying RSP-based valuation, revise invoice price build-up accordingly.

Ensure accurate HSN classification for raw tobacco vs other tobacco products.

Check whether additional excise duties/cess apply to the goods you handle.

Maintain clear records of notification citations and valuation methodology for audit.
