Invoice under section 31(3) (f)

We received service on RCM basis from unregistered person , such as Transporter, advocate, etc. and pay the rcm and take input.

The transporter or advocate raise his bills
and on the basis of we pay the rcm & take input

But sir as per sec.31 (3) (f) cgst , is it necessary or mandatory to prepare self invoicing on above RCM services & on that self invoicing we are entitled to take input.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirement for self-invoicing under Section 31(3)(f) of the CGST Act when receiving services from unregistered persons on a Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) basis. While typically suppliers issue invoices, for RCM services from unregistered entities like transporters or advocates, preparing a self-invoice is mandatory to claim input tax credit. If the supplier issues a bill, a separate self-invoice may not be needed, but if no invoice is provided, a self-invoice is essential to avoid potential penalties or disallowance of input credit.

As per the above mentioned section 31(3)(f) of the CGST Act , only if Goods or services or both were received from unregistered person, then it is mandatory to prepare Self Invoice and pay tax under RCM , in case  RCM  applicable . 

I am not understand - CGST Act only ?
At existing practice transporter, Advocate give their bill & on the basis of bills we are paying RCM & take input credit. We are not preparing self invoicing.

In such circumstances what happens -means penalty , disallowance of input credit , etc
If transporter ( GTA) & Advocate are unregistered, then you have to prepare Self Invoice and pay the tax under RCM as per section 31 . ( They can not prepare Tax Invoice) , take more Opinion on this .
If u r d suppliers are issuing invoices then u need not again issue self invoice. it will be technicle action. no ITC will be disallowed. if u r d is not issuing any invoice, then u should issue self invoice.
Ok, धन्यवाद , आभारी आहोत.Very very Thanks
