This discussion addresses revenue recognition for goods where the supplier is responsible for transportation after customer inspection and instruction. The key question is when the supplier should issue an e-invoice and recognise revenue: upon removal of goods or after delivery to the customer's location. The consensus leans towards recognising revenue and issuing the e-invoice upon removal, especially when GST regulations require an e-invoice for transport, while noting the buyer's ownership transfer upon completion of transportation.

E invoice is to be issued at the time of removal after inspection and instruction by buyer to supply. E invoice is required for transport as per GST Act. Buyer has to recognise ownership of material only on completion of transportation by seller.

Yes E Invoice have to be issued at the time of removal of goods for transportation to the customer. In case where E-invoice is applicable. The invoice will be treated as invalid if it do not contain the IRN and QR code.
