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.

But there is No Sale & Purchase from Head office (Maharashtra).

You are giving services to the office, so you are supposed to raise bill over the HO. It the concern of the service receiver to distribute the GST to their branches.

Means You mean to Say Invoice to be raise to ISD (Maharashtra)? as the Cross Charge method is now not allowed from 01st April 2025.

Yes, as your services are rendered to HO, which is ISD unit itself.
