Invoice in gst using tin number starting phase July 17

Hey Rohit! It looks like you’re asking about issuing a GST invoice in July 2017 using a TIN number.

Quick Clarification:

• GST rollout in India started from 1st July 2017.

• Before GST, businesses used TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) under the VAT regime.

• From 1st July 2017 onwards, all invoices for taxable supplies must mention GSTIN (GST Identification Number), not the old TIN.

So:

• If you are issuing an invoice in July 2017 or after, you should use your GSTIN on the invoice.

• Using the old TIN number is not valid under GST regime.

• The invoice format and details should follow GST invoice rules (Invoice Number, Date, GSTIN of supplier and recipient, HSN code, Tax details, etc.)

What to do if you had only TIN in July 2017?

• If your GST registration was not active yet but you were making taxable supplies after July 1, you must obtain GST registration immediately.

• You cannot continue issuing invoices with just the old TIN after GST rollout.
