GST
When to raise the bill in GST by Property owner
1). It should be in Mar-21 and it belongs to last year
2). It should be in May-21 as date mentioned on cheque is May
3). Should it be in June-21as the cheque was handover in June Month
As the receipt was uncertain the landowner filed GST return of March-21
The pending 2 month rent is still under negotiation between both the parties and if the rent is received after 6 months , when to raise the GST Invoice
