03 August 2025 In GST, for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC), the key document is a tax invoice issued by a registered supplier.

If your bill just says "Invoice" but it contains all the mandatory details required under GST rules (like supplier GSTIN, invoice number, date, description of goods/services, taxable value, tax amount, etc.), it can be treated as a tax invoice.

The word "Tax Invoice" is not mandatory to be printed explicitly on the document, as long as the document meets all the requirements under GST law.

So, yes, you can claim ITC on a bill that only says "Invoice", provided it has all the necessary information to qualify as a tax invoice.

In short:
"Invoice" = "Tax Invoice" if all statutory details are there. ITC can be claimed. If details are missing, ITC may be disallowed.
