Presently we do signature on all copies at the bottom of the invoice and also do signature for pre authentication at the top of the invoice.
It seems pre authentication is no more required . In such case do we need to sign at the bottom of the excise invoice ? or can we avoid and just write " System generated invoice and NO signature needed."

In case of computer-generated invoice, the serial number may be allowed to be generated and printed by computer at the time of preparation of invoice ONLY IF the software is such that computer automatically generates the number and same number cannot be generated more than once. For this purpose, the Central Excise Officers may check the system/software from time to time.
The rule provides that owner or working partner or Managing Director or Company Secretary shall authenticate each foil of the invoice book, before being brought into use. However, in order to facilitate the trade it has been decided that any person duly authorised in this regard by the Company, owner or working partner may also authenticate invoices. Copy of the letter of authority should be submitted to the Range office.
The invoice shall be prepared in triplicate in the following manner, namely:- 1. the original copy being marked as ORIGINAL FOR BUYER; 2. the duplicate copy being marked as DUPLICATE FOR TRANSPORTER; 3. the triplicate copy being marked as TRIPLICATE FOR ASSESSEE. The above requirement is mainly for Central Excise purposes. However, the assessee may make more than three copies for his other requirements. But such copies shall be prominently marked "NOT FOR CENVAT PURPOSES’.
