Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the practical steps for generating e-invoices in export sales, specifically addressing the timing relative to shipping bill submission. It highlights that e-invoices should be generated before the shipping bill. The conversation also tackles potential mismatches between e-invoice data and shipping bill data due to fluctuating exchange rates, explaining how GST refunds are based on e-invoice information.

E invoices should be generated before the shipping bill.
As export is zero rated sale, you can claim tax refund later
I) Gst refund is base on E invoice data.
e.g. I made export as on 1 jan & custom exchange rate was 73. Gst value is 1000 USD. so in INR it is 73000. E invoice is generated with 73000 Gst amount.
now I filled shipping bill on 2 Jan at that time actual custom exchange rate was 73.5 and Gst value mentioned on shipping bill is 73500.

here there is mismatch in E invoice data and shipping bill data.

what to do in this type of scenario?
