20 June 2026 Recently we return goods worth Rs. 11 Lacs. to our supplier. So, instead of giving us credit note they asked to prepare sale bill. Is it a good practice because if we generate sale bill it will added to our turnover. which gives incorrect turnover information. So, please suggest any best solution for this.

20 June 2026 For the GST Catering Query: Food items supplied under a catering contract attract 5% GST. If sold purely over-the-counter as individual goods, plain Roti attracts 0%, but Parotta attracts 18% GST as it does not qualify for the standard roti exemption.

For the Goods Return Query: Generating a sale bill for a purchase return is an incorrect accounting practice that artificially inflates business turnover. The buyer should firmly request a Credit Note from the supplier, or alternatively, return the items using a Delivery Challan under Rule 55 instead of an commercial sales invoice.
