Input service Distributor GST

Dear,

One of our client going to take ISD registration, I need some information regarding ISD.

1) Do we have to give ISD GST number to relevant supplier so that GST input not shown in GSTR-2B of head office GST number,

2) GSTR-6A are same as GSTR-2B

3) can we choose Cross charge billing to Branch instead of distributing input through ISD

4) How Entries made in HO books and Branch Books

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the complexities of Input Service Distributor (ISD) GST registration. It addresses key questions regarding whether to provide the ISD GST number to suppliers, the relationship between GSTR-6A and GSTR-2B, and the viability of cross-charging versus distributing input tax credit through ISD. The consensus leans towards cross-charging as a preferred method, but acknowledges situations where ISD is necessary for third-party services billed to the head office.

We prefer to do cross charges instead of ISD, which i my opinion is the better option.
Yes, Agree with Mr Vishal VK Cross Charge is better option .

But  I think Still ,  take  Some others opinions  also regarding  ISD or Cross Charge . 

In cross charge we can billing to Branch only those services given by Head office itself not by any third party like audit charges of branch and auditor issue bill to head office in this scenario we can't do cross charge we have to distribute input through ISD

Very good @ fariyad khan. This is the basic difference of usage of ISD and cross charge which people often overlook.

Your concept is very clear but your question is comprehensive. Engage a professional and take detailed opinion.
