Dear All

1) Is there any way to find the GST number of Individual / Companies online? If i know the company name can i find the GST number?

2) I need to invoice client on 1st July but i do not have the GST number available with me and client is not sharing the GST number what can i do? Can I raise the invoice without mentioning the Clients GST number?

3) What is any client has not obtained the GST registration and client is beyond the threshold limit can I raise the invoice for such client without GST number?

4) How to raise an invoice for International Client? Will the invoice format be same for an international client? 

Thanks
