Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a GST invoice should be issued under a trade name or a legal name. While the CGST Act doesn't explicitly mandate one over the other, it's generally advisable to use the trade name if it was used during registration. Using both names on the invoice is also acceptable and poses no issue with the GST department.
In term of Rule 46 of CGST Act , which prescribed Name of Recepient need to be mentioned, it's not given that Trade Name or Legal Name. So in my view you can mention either trade name or legal name both are correct.
Note : It is Advisable if you know the Trade Name then mention Trade Name only.
