This discussion clarifies the rules for issuing sales invoices against advance payments. For services, an invoice must be raised within 30 days of receiving the advance. However, there's no such time limit for advances received against the supply of goods. If an advance is received without an actual supply, a 'Receipt Voucher' should be issued within 30 days, not a sales invoice.

If such advance is received towards supply of services, then invoice to be raised within 30 days from date of receipt of advance. No such restriction in case of advance received against supply of goods.
