14 November 2025 Invoice must be raised on the Head Office (Maharashtra)

Because:

Section 2(93) – “Recipient of Service” (CGST Act)

Recipient is the person liable to pay consideration, which is always the Head Office (where accounts, admin, approvals, and audit coordination happen).

Section 12 of IGST Act – Place of Supply for B2B services

Place of supply = Location of the recipient, when the recipient is registered.

Since the Head Office is the registered entity that receives your services, the invoice must be addressed to HO. You can charge CGST+ SGST.
